Layers of Color's Nina B Designs Release Hop

Thank you for joining us today for the Layers of Color's release of my former Angel Company stamps.
 After TAC closed, I received so many emails inquiring about my designs. I was disappointed when TAC didn't work out, but was encouraged by the response to my stamps there. Even better, I met several new friends who were TAC fans, so not all is lost...not at all! And now some of these TAC stamps can be purchased through Layers of Color. And because the plates are different between two companies (LOC's are bigger), I have added new images to the set that complement the others in each set. It's great to have a second chance at designing the same sets :). I hope you will like them, too.

I have a few photos to share with you today. My first card uses Dotted Dahlias, which was colored with Copics, as the main focal point. I also used the Fairy Wishes set as a background. The sentiment is from the Beautiful Lace set.
Here is the close up of the dahlia. I had so much fun coloring this.

My second card is a little more involved than my usual cards, but I had so much fun putting it together. The butterfly is from Fairy Wishes set. The word "Mom" is from the Sweet Silhouettes set and the "i love you" is from The Love Chapter set.

I also found some burlap fabric to play with and die cut that using Spellbinders Heart Nestabilities. The birdcage is also die cut (links below). The papers are Webster's Pages and the bling is from Want2Scrap.
As with any LOC hop, we also have giveaways! Leave a comment here on this post and tell me which of my new sets do you like the most. I will pick a winner who will receive that set for free. You have till midnight tonight to enter. The winner will be announced tomorrow! I also have a referral contest going on now in my Nina B Designs Facebook page. Refer your friends to like it and I will pick a random winner who, along with his/her referrer, will win one of my LOC Christmas stamps.

 Make sure you stop by the Layers of Color blog for another chance for a giveaway! And here are the DTs' blogs for more inspiration:

 Diana Queen * Janice Whiting *  Jennie Harper * Jessica Fick  * Keri Lee Sereika * Linda Lucas  * Melisa Waldorf * Nina Brackett (you are here!) * Savannah O’Gwynn

    Oh dear how to choose!! I like the silhouettes but to suit my card style I would choose Beautiful Lace!! I'm seeing hand-stamped backgrounds, paper piecing with these!!

    That is a very hard decision because they are all beautiful. But I think Dotted Dahlia won out - beautiful images. Congratulations Nina.

    Oh my goodness Nina! Once again you have blown me away! I love every one of these images and the die cuts too! To pick just one, that will be difficult, there are elements from each that I especially love. So, since I want all of them, I will just tell you which one I need first :) Beautiful Lace - absolutely love the images from this set! Thanks for the chance to win!

    Like many, your designs are hard to choose from when it comes to favorites! The designs are so wonderful that you are asking the impossible! LOL!!

    The Fairy Wishes stood out as I love silhouettes and it reminds me of the fairy tale books I read as a child.

    Nina, you have done an excellent job! These new stamps and dies are literally to die for! God has certainly blessed you with some wonderful talent, and you are diligent in sharing! Your cards are beautiful as well, but with such wonderful stamps, how can they not be?! I am not sure, but I think the dotted dahlia is my favorite. But it is a close runner with three others. Fantastic job, Thanks!

    So thrilled that L. O. C. has picked up your "Angel" stamps. I did manage to get some before TAC closed but still had a few more I wanted. Now I hope to get them! Dotted Dahlias is still on my want list! I'll be in a blog hop on Sat. using a TAC set of yours.

    First of all your cards are pieces of AMAZING art! Thank you for your inspiration. Second of all, I am a HUGE fan of your stamps! I am and always will wear TAC wings. I am so blessed to have gotten to know you through TAC. Nothing lost, in fact I feel I have gained a new friend. Third, I must go spend some money {don't tell my hubs}! My favorite set is Fairy Wishes. Be sure to visit the TAC chicks blogs this weekend when we feature our friend NinaB!
