Happy Wednesday!! I hope you are having a fabulous week!! I want to sincerely thank you all for voting for my card in the Spellbinders A Gilded Life Challenge!! I also want to thank all of my "Campaign Managers" who posted about the contest on their blogs, Facebook, sidebars and encouraged their friends in groups and teams to vote!! I appreciate you all so much!! I came in second place!! It was a much better outcome than I hoped for or expected!!
Since I can't send something to all of you, I created this card for all of my followers to express my appreciation :) I used the Memory Box Tiffany Frame and Cherise Label dies that I'm giving away today...well, not the actual dies - I bought two sets ;) But I wanted to show you how beautiful they are!!
The papers are from Pink Paislee. The edges were distressed with a Zutter DIA. The Tiffany Frame was cut first in cardboard and then patterned paper...I wanted it to have a little dimension from the Label and it's too thin for foam tape. Thank You is a Spellbinders In'spire die. It was cut once in black and once in patterned paper for a shadow effect. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. The button on the bow is a Die-Versions Wee Petite Button die. By the way, I purchased all of these dies from Scrapy Land...they have such an amazing selection!!
I am entering this in the following challenges:
1. Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes
2. DL.Art - September Linky
3. DoubleClick Skittles Challenge - Anything Goes
And now for the winner of my Giveaway!! I had 76 entries in the linky, plus one who couldn't get her name to show up in the list. I added her name to the end. So there were 77 entries total. I used Random.org to choose for me and it chose....................................................
And #39 is.......................................................................................
Congratulations, Katie!! Please email your address to me at indymermaid(at)gmail(dot)com and I'll get the dies in the mail to you!!
Thank you all again for voting for me!! I have the best followers in blogland :)
