*NinaB Designs is a product designer for a few paper crafting companies including Spellbinders, Want2Scrap and Penny Black, and The Craft's Meow.
For this month's hop, I challenged the team to create a project with the LOVE theme, which can be interpreted in many ways: Valentine, Anniversary and Friendship. I made two cards for you. The first one uses Penny Black's Sent with Love stamp set. I did the emboss resist on this card with some Copic coloring on the flowers. I first heat embossed with white powder, colored the flower and blended different Distress inks to expose the white background.
I distressed the edges and stitched to a cream cardstock. Some lace, seam binding, buttons and flowers finish this simple shabby card.
For my second card, I went the fun route and made a patterned paper-filled card. I love patterns, don't you? I esp love this collection from October Afternoon. I use my TCM's Beautiful Shelf set on this one. I paper pieced the shelf/cabinet and colored the vase of flowers.
The sentiment is from Just Sayin' and placed over trendy banners. Some red twine is all it needs.
The NinaB Designs team is giving away these TWO PRIZE PACKAGES:
Prize Package #1 includes Spellbinders Venetian Accents and Motifs:
Prize #2 includes 2 retired sets from Layers of Colors stamps:
Winners will be picked randomly from 2 of the designers' blogs:
Nina Brackett * Beate Johns * Beatriz Jennings * Clare Buswell * Heather Jensen * Jennie Harper * Julie Overby * Lea Lawson * Linda Lucas *Viola Mahr
Everybody is welcome to comment and be eligible to win. The winners will be announced on January 22 on My Blog, where you will also find all the relevant info regarding the giveaways.
