Please Vote - Spellbinders A Gilded Life Contest

Happy Sunday!! I hope you are having a fabulous weekend!! It's so chilly here...50's during the day and 40's at night. I love fall but I'm so not ready for it yet!!

I have a HUGE favor to ask of you all. I have two entries that made the finals of the Spellbinders A Gilded Life contest. The grand prize is a trip to Spellbound in Pasadena, California!! The winner is selected by votes and I really, really hate to have to beg for votes, but I would so love to win the trip. So if I could please ask you to visit the Spellbinders blog HERE and vote for my Love Card (the #9 Hope Candle is also mine), I would really appreciate it.

#1 Love Card

Again, I hate to ask, but thank you so, so much if you do vote!! Have a wonderful Sunday :)

This is my second post of the day. For my Die-Versions post, click HERE.

I have one more Spellbinders A Gilded Life project to share with you. For this necklace, I used the Spellbinders A Gilded Life Crown Bezel. Spellbinders A Gilded Life Crown Circle dies were used to cut the paper for the background and then a smaller piece of Spellbinders Media Mixage Iridescent Translucents. A Spellbinders Standard Circles Small die was used for the inside circle. Wish is from JustRite Stamps Grateful Hearts Vintage Labels 2 stamp set. Gems were added and then the bezel was filled in with Glossy Accents. Once it dried, more gems were added to the outside.

I am entering this in the following challenges:

1. Spellbinders A Gilded Life Contest
2. Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - Anything Goes
3. DL.Art - August Linky

Today I have a home decor project to share with you. I started with a piece of pink vellum and adhered tulle and sequin ribbon. I then cut two Spellbinders A Gilded Life Rose Medallion Dies in pink vellum and one in Spellbinders Media Mixage Iridescent Translucents in pearl and attached it to the candle.

The pendant is a Spellbinders A Gilded Life Love Wings and I just snipped off the top ring. I used a technique on the background that I saw on a blog and thought it looked awesome, but now I can't remember where I saw it. So I would love to give credit to whoever came up with the idea. I stamped it with Versamark and then heat embossed it with Stampendous Vintage Embossing Powder. I used a Spellbinders A Gilded Life Heart Die to cut another piece of Media Mixage Iridescent Translucents. Hope is from JustRite Stamps Grateful Hearts Vintage Labels 2, and it was heat embossed with gold embossing powder. The heart was then applied to the pendant with Glossy Accents, which were also added to the wings and crown. Sugar Coating was added to the wings and crown while the Glossy Accents was still wet.

Happy Tuesday!! I hope you are having a wonderful week!! Another month that is just flying by.  I have a card to share with  you today using several Spellbinders products.

The base of the card is Neenah Solar White cardstock and the next layer is pink vellum. The edges were distressed with a Zutter DIA. The next layer was created with a Spellbinders A Gilded Life Rose Medallion Die. I cut several of the dies and adhered them to a cardstock that had been covered with a double-sided sheet of adhesive. I then adhered the Rose Medallion dies, staggering the design each line. Since the background was sticky and there were spaces in between, I covered the sheet with Doodlebug Sugar Coating so that it glitters. I then lightly brushed Spun Sugar Distress Ink over the top. The button on top of the ribbon is a Spellbinders Pagemaps Whimsy die.

A Spellbinders Gold Labels Four was cut with Neenah cardstock and adhered with foam tape for dimension. Another Gold Labels Four was cut in pink vellum and attached on top, followed by white tulle that was also cut with the Gold Labels Four.

For the focal point, I used a Spellbinders A Gilded Life Large Heart Bezel. I sanded it quite a bit to remove most of the color and then covered it with white acrylic paint. Once the paint dried, I added crackle medium. Once that dried, I covered it with Raw Sienna and Burnt Umber acrylic paint, wiping most of it off, leaving it in the cracks to accentuate them. For the inside of the bezel, I used a Spellbinders A Gilded Life Heart Die to cut a piece of Spellbinders Media Mixage Iridescent Translucents in pearl. Love is from JustRite Stamps Grateful Hearts Vintage Labels 2 stamp set. It was heat embossed with silver embossing powder. The bezels come with a clear plastic top, so I added some iridescent sequins inside and adhered the cover with Glossy Accents. Gems were added to the top.

The butterfly is a Spellbinders Jewel Flowers and Flourish die. It was covered with Sugar Coating.

The flowers are Spellbinders Rose Creations dies. A touch of Spun Sugar Distress Ink was added to the edges, as well as some Sugar Coating. The leaves were cut in pink vellum and inked with Spun Sugar.
