250th Post Give Away, "Winter" Collage.....

This Give Away is Closed

"Brew me a cup for a winter's night.
For the wind howls loud and the furies fight;
Spice it with love and stir it with care,
And I'll toast our bright eyes,
my sweetheart fair."

This post marks my 250th post and as promised last week I am revealing the finished "Winter" collage and I am having a give away. To spread a little winter cheer I am giving away this 6" x 8" collage. I do apologize for the poor photo quality. I tired without a flash and they were too dull and dark, with a flash they are a little washed out. It has been quite cloudy here and natural lighting has been hard to come by. (click on any photo to enlarge for better viewing)The base of the piece is a 6" x 8" canvas board covered in a soft cream fabric with a pink grid stitched pattern on it. Layered atop are pieces of French blue embroidered silk, creamy polished cotton, pink and white checked silk, topped off with a mini card stock print of a vintage post card, all stitched in pink thread. Embellishments include vintage crochet lace edging, pink velvet ribbon, faux fur, pink crepe paper ruffling, pink velvet flowers, old buttons, frosty branches with glittery snowflakes, organza ribbon, an icy crystal droplet, and white "WINTER" lettering. The back of the collage is covered with pink handmade paper. A tab of velvet pink ribbon threaded through an old plastic belt buckle hides the silver picture holder that the piece hangs from.To sign up for the give away just leave one comment only on this post. You do not have to have a blog to enter and there are no shipping restrictions. Comments will be open through Saturday, February 7, 2009. A winner will be announced on Monday, February 9, 2009.

Thank you to all who visit here and warm my heart with your friendship.

Blessings,
Miss Sandy
