peeks & a Blossom Bucket GIVEAWAY...

I spent the weekend working on book projects...

I have to say that this is some of my MOST FAVORITE art that I have ever made...
EVER...

seriously...I had so much FUN...
I mean I worked REALLY HARD!

I can't wait to share...

I thought we could start the day with some
  NEW PRODUCT peeks...

lots of art parts, Blossom Bucket & stamps in the photo below...


more stamps & art parts, plus I see a peek of ______?


 oh...this next one is a good one...
2 Blossom Bucket, 3 stamps & a new art parts...

 now here's an EASY one...



did you notice that I've used clear embossing on these projects?

I've embossed on 10 of the last 12...
the reason?

I forgot how cool embossing looks, plus it makes it so easy to color in the images with tim's markers...

while having my coffee this morning,
 I was admiring my 19 
BRAND NEW embellishments 
from Blossom Bucket...

we're hoping for 20...
but #20 is proving to be a manufacturing nightmare...
yikes!

got my fingers crossed that #20 will be ready for CHA...

but here's a peek at the NEW 19...
I.  AM.  IN. LOVE!!!!!!

I expected cool...
but they have made these spectacular...
and I'm not easily impressed...
ok...picky might be the word I was looking for?

the detail is just amazing in these pieces...

they'll fit on cards, scrapbook layouts & altered art too...

plus they were designed with my stamps & art parts in mind...

 Cindy said it's too early for the full reveal...
let's just give them a little peek...

ok ...
here goes...
best I can do...




Cindy offered to do a
  GIVEAWAY to celebrate our new release...
I LIKE how she thinks!


I LOVE these because the clear bottle & jar were designed with a slit in the back, so that the flowers slip right in & everything gets glued down flat...

they're a perfect fit...

the bouquet is perfect for altering with tim's markers...
I'll do a post on that soon...
each flower can be a different color...
or you can make them all the same...

it's simple, quick & FUN...
and alterable to fit any project...



LOVE LOVE really LOVE the lips
the vintage phone (I'm so old I remember these!)
& of course...
the red hearts fit lots of occasions...


but wait...

there's MORE...
the lucky winner will also get these...

the antique silver buttons, the bird, the cute roof (can't find that link)

I showed how to alter the bird 

I LOVE to use the buttons for flower centers...
the roof also makes a funky hat for people...


so...one lucky winner will get all 12 packages!
THANKS CINDY!!!

what do you need to do to have this prize package live with you?

just leave a comment...
that's it...
simple...

I'll ask Cindy to draw the random winner on 
Wednesday...

and that person will receive 12 Blossom Bucket trinkets so that they can...

make art!
wendy
ps...yes I did notice that the links are red & blue...
I'm gearing up for the 4th!
off to the studio...got some ideas brewin'

Erin Glee said...

Sneaky! That new Blossom Bucket coffee mug is a MUST HAVE! (If you get to tease us, we can tease you, right?)
Thank you Wendy and Cindy for the Giveaway...I don't have any of those and I love them! The Blossom Bucket Lips are so fun and remind me of an inflatable bath pillow I had in the 70's and an Avon lip gloss compact my Grandma gave me, also from the 70's or maybe even late 60's that I STILL HAVE. The pink/peach Lip Gloss is long gone...so is Grandma Toni, but the memories are very clear. This was my first make-up and I felt so "mature" to have it, even though I'd like to look in the mirror, put the red plastic lips over mine and strike a pose...act silly...have fun!

Cheryl Grigsby said...

I know you're a talented woman. I know your creativity is unique and inspiring. I know you bring a flair to your art that is intriguing and different. And now I know: you like to torture people. :-) Can't wait to see for real!!

Sandy Small said...

Your Blossom Buckets look so detailed and I have been wanting to try them out. I hate to admit, but I haven't actually seen them in real life yet.

I absolutely adore the dial phone (I remember them, too!). Plus the flower bouquet and the jars are so cute!

And I really, really want to try coloring them with Tim's markers. I am so glad you tried it, just to see what happens!

Thanks loads for being so creative!
