God Bless Your Day!,

Today, Layer of Color designer and illustrator, Nina Brackett is sponsoring Lily Pad Cards challenge blog!

Please join me by entering the card challenge and you could win Layers of Color art stamps and Spellbinder’s die template designed by Nina Brackett!

Following Lily Pad’s sketch, I designed this card with Nina in mind, starting with a crocheted doily knowing that she loves crocheted lace. I’m showcasing Nina’s wreath from Glad Tidings and her sweet sentiment from Sent With Love art stamp sets.

The sketch requires a square in the center, which I chose to make from acetate and stamped with StazOn black ink. The white and green is colored on the back side with Sharpie markers, and the edges are machine stitched with white thread.

Nina is giving away her Spellbinders Classic Scallop Edgeabilities die template so I also chose to use that for this card. I’ve added tiny button brads and soft twine Feather Twine, (which will soon be available exclusively at Layers of Color boutique)!

To enter to WIN Nina’s Layers of Color art stamps and her Classic Scallop die template, join NinaBDesigns Facebook page and comment on her blog, Creating in Croatia. See all Nina’s Layers of Color art stamps in the boutique and visit her art gallery for inspiration!

This week, Layers of Color is sponsoring The Play Date Cafe challenge blog! Your entry gives you a chance to win FREE Layers of Color art stamps! Come play along!

For my entry I used The Play Date Cafe’s pretty selection of challenge colors,  artichoke, mauve and egg yolk.

• Artichoke: Christmas Blessings art stamp with VersaColor “Bamboo”
• Mauve: Vintage Roses art stamp set with VersaColor “Ash Rose” and Prismacolor Metallic Purple pencil
• Egg yolk: Distressed edge with VersaColor “Narcissus”
• Card shape: Spellbinder’s Grand Calibur and Grand Scallop Circles Nestabilities Die Template, smallest die
• Embellishments: Feather Twine, white metallic cotton twine, silver bells and Stickles “Diamond” glitter

I liked the natural surprise of the pink color that appeared when the inks blended. So pretty!

Layers of Color will be carrying this unique and rare Feather Twine  along with the metallic cotton twine very soon, so keep a look out for them at Layers of Color boutique!
