Welcome to the NinaB Designs Blog Hop! The theme of this month's Hop is Stamping Techniques. Nina challenged the team to do a technique, which could be as simple as coloring, die-cutting or more involved like emboss resist, making your own embellishments, etc. If you have arrived from Lea Lawson's Blog, you are in the right place!

I have used the Sew Lovely stamp set, designed by NinaB Designs for The Craft's Meow and have used the Emboss Resist Technique - this is one of my favourite techniques, along with Die Cutting and Stenciling.

I have stamped the image using Imagine Crafts/ Tsukineko VersaMagic - Cloud White Ink and embossed using White Embossing Powder and a Heat Tool.  I have then sponged the image using VersaMagic - Pixie Dust and Versafine - Vintage Sepia

It has then been cut out using the Spellbinders Grand Calibur® Machine

 and Labels Eight Nestabilities® then mounted onto the Decorative Labels Eight Nestabilities® using foam tape.

The button image has been cut out using the Standard Circles LG Nestabilities®. 

 Want2Scrap©  Self Adhesive Pearls have been added around the edge of the circle and a button glued to the center to create a unique embellishment.   This is added on top of vintage lace and a border of  Want2Scrap© - Beautiful Bling Borders-Fancy Waves! by Nina Brackett.  Finishing off with a Mulberry Rose and some floral touches from my stash.
