Happy Thursday!! I hope you are having a great week!! I have a winner to announce for my 5 Year Blogaversary Giveaway, but first it's time for a Thankful Thursday Challenge at DL.ART!! The theme is a fun one - water!! We want to see your projects that feature water in some way (you can always substitute a Thank You card for any Thankful Thursday Challenge). Use the code l01210 to get 10% off your order at DL.ART!!
For my mixed media cards, I created a hidden garden featuring a fountain filled with water. The papers are from Maja Designs. I used texture paste and a Tim Holtz Dot fade stencil, along with Shabby White Frantage and white paint splatters to cover the paper.
The bricks are an Elizabeth Crafts die and I layered them over craft foam for dimension. The big butterfly is a Memory Box Isabella die covered with Sugar Coating. The smaller butterflies are Impression Obsession Butterfly Set dies, also covered in Sugar Coating.
This shows some of the texture from the texture paste, Frantage and the Decoart Crackle Paste. The fountain is a Marianne Fountain die and sadly, this one has gone dry :(
This beautiful ribbon is Powder Blue from The Blues Bundle. The flowers are Wild Orchid Crafts. Tucked among the flowers are Memory Box Chloe Stems, Elizabeth Crafts Curly Leaves, Poppystamps Weeping Willow Branches and Tattered Lace Meadow Leaves. The "water" in this fountain is made up of Ocean Blue microbeads.
This gorgeous ribbon is Sweet Love from The Valentine Bundle (my favorite!!). Wish Big is from My Creative Time.
I am entering these in the following challenges:
1) Word Art Wednesday - Anything Goes
2) Pause, Dream Enjoy Linky - Anything Goes
3) 2 Creative Chicks - Anything Goes
4) Jo's Scrap Shack - Anything Goes
Thank you so much to everyone who entered my giveaway!! I wish I could send you all something but there can only be one winner so, without further ado..actually, if you'll indulge me, just a little more ado :) When I went to Random.org and plugged in the number of entrants and then hit generate, the little circle spun around and stopped on...
The birthday fairy must have been hard at work because I quickly checked the list of entrants to see who #26 was, and not only is Sherrie one of my oldest blogging friends, but Tuesday was her birthday!! So congrats, Sherrie and happy, happy birthday!! And I know I said there could only be one winner, but because I love giving things away, there are actually two!! I have this beautiful Die-Versions Frilly Dress die I wanted to send to one of you :)
So I skipped back to Random.org, plugged in the numbers again and this time, the winner is:
Congratulations, Niki!! I will get your prize and Sherrie's in the mail in the next few days!! Thank you all again for following me and for being such amazing blogging buddies!! I hope you have a wonderful rest of the week!! Big hugs :)
