Candi Winner & Classic Motor - Monday 18th February

Good Morning Friends,

I am scheduling this post as today I have the day off work and this morning will be heading to the NEC, Birmingham with Amy, who is taking me along to the Stitches Retail craft event with her (our version of CHA). I've never been before and am really looking forward to it...I'll tell you all about it later in the week!

Yesterday afternoon I wrote out all your names and put them in a little basket...then we went out into the garden with the camera....

I gathered the girls around, but only Lacey, our Speckly was brave enough to approach the basket

We have a winner, let's see who....

We have a name, but you can't read it from this far!

So here is Penny Pumpkin helping with the reveal..can you read the name yet?

Drumroll for Oksana!

Thank you to every one of you for following me...writing this blog and sharing my ideas with you, whilst being blessed with being able to admire and take inspiration from all your wonderful creations is truly an incredible journey of continuous, amazing discovery. Visiting your blogs is having a community of friends online, where we share the same interests, share in each other's happiness and sorrow. I have been using Twitter and Facebook for a long time, but blogging was the best online community I ever decided to join and that's all because of you. Thank you!

Oksana, please email me your address at wonder8art@aol.com and I will send your candi off to you as soon as possible!

By the way, time to confess, Lacey didn't actually put her beak in a pick out Oksana's name (now there's a surprise)..it was Tom who actually made the draw, but I thought including the girls was a bit of fun!

Today I am sharing another of my guy cards...

This is a 6x6 card using a stamp from Stamps Away. I used a background paper from stash and inked the edges with Vintage Photo, then added a strip of hessian. The card was stamped in black archival and then heat embossed with clear powder. I die cut the image and inked the edges of the die, again with Vintage Photo. Using the same ink, mixed with a little water, I gave the car a wash of colour.

The sentiment is a stamp by Creative Expressions, also heat embossed and matted and layered on gold mirror card, the sentiment tag was cut by hand.

Thanks for stopping by!
