Welcome to a very special Layers of Color New Release Blog Hop!

This is the beginning of the blog hop!

Today is so exciting because we are introducing

Layers of Color Designer Collection

showcasing Nina Brackett’s new signature stamp line,

NinaB Designs!

This gorgeous line has delicate Fairy Wishes that pair perfectly with the large blossoms from Dotted Dahlias and Dotted Peonies. And there are Sweet Silhouettes that are lovely with Beautiful Lace and Elegant Labels. To inspire you with delightfully fresh ideas, Layers of Color designers have created their best projects with NinaB Designs new release stamp sets. Come visit the newest clear stamp art galleries!

Also introducing,

Angel’s Twine and Feather Twine!

This unique and pretty twine trio is found exclusively through Layers of Color boutique. Angel’s Twine is a thinner cotton than Baker’s twine with a metallic thread twisted through it adding a special sparkle. Feather Twine is soft, feathery and sweet as butterfly kisses. Both lovely twines are coupled together on a reusable artist’s tag with a free fabric rose!

I’d love to share some of the fun I had with NinaB Designs new release…

Dotted Dahlias and Wild Grass Frame clear art stamp sets,

Spellbinders Labels Ten, and white Angel’s Twine.

The inks are among my favorite colors, VersaFine Spanish Moss and Crimson Red.

Dotted Peonies clear art stamp and Spellbinders Foliage die template.

VersaFine Vintage Sepia, Imperial Purple and Spanish Moss inks.

This wonderful sentiment is from Dotted Dahlias clear art stamp set and stamped onto Spellbinders Labels Five, the flower flourishes are Floweret cling art stamp, and the delicate embellishments are vintage lace seam binding and white Angel’s Twine. VersaFine Vintage Sepia, Toffee, Crimson Red inks and Tombo marker(912 peach).

This card focuses on Sweet Silhouettes and Beautiful Lace framed by Spellbinders Labels Ten. The paper eyelet edge is made with Classic Petal Edgeabilities designed by Nina Brackett, and the soft touch is white Feather Twine. VersaFine Onyx Black and Crimson Red inks make this a classic and timeless card.
