Steampunk Circus and Retro Cafe Art Gallery GIVEAWAY!

It's FRIDAY, folks!  And...for most of us, next week is a super short week, so that makes it an even BETTER Friday!  YAY!  I say it's time to celebrate with a fun giveaway, what do you think?  Today, the fabulous Kristin is offering Just Jingle readers a chance to win a $25 Gift Certificate to the Retro Cafe Art Gallery store!  You already know I love RCA, but if you haven't checked it out you are MISSING out! SEE THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST FOR HOW TO ENTER TO WIN!

P.S. Retro Cafe Art Gallery has an AWESOME supply of Washi Tape, Baker's Twine, AND Tim Holtz goodies, too!


I want to share the Steampunk Circus shrine I created recently using some fabulous goodies from Retro Cafe Art Gallery!

Steampunk Circus Shrine - Soft Focus


I began with the awesome Steampunk Shrine Kit and covered it entirely with Graphic 45 papers.  You can also buy premade curtain cutout sheets to go with the shrine kits if you prefer.

Steampunk Shrine Gear Detail


The gears come with the shrine, and I used a gold leafing pen to make them a pretty metallic gold color.  You can also get the gears separately in a variety of forms!

Steampunk Circus Shrine detail


I used the Circus Paper Cutouts tucked into the fabulous little Theatre Character Stands painted with a silver leafing pen.

So...how do you win the $25 Gift Certificate to Retro Cafe Art Gallery?  Well, it's easy!

Head on over to the Retro Cafe Art Gallery Facebook page, like it, and let her know Jingle sent you!  Then just leave a comment here on my blog telling me that you did that and what your favorite thing from the Retro Cafe Art Gallery store is!

The giveaway will remain open through Friday, 23 November.  The winner will be announced on my blog and will have 48 hours to claim the prize.  After 48 hours, a new winner will be drawn.  This giveaway is open worldwide, as it is a gift certificate with a set amount.  I receive free product from Retro Cafe Art Gallery, as I design for the store, however, I was not given any financial compensation for this post and all opinions are my own.

  16. This project is gorgeous! I always like when you use their stuff because I feel like it is a really different style for you, but one I also like.
    Man, I am a washi junkie and they have so many styles I have never seen! My favorite at the moment is the white dots and pink hearts on orange. I am all about orange right now. :)

  36. Wonderful artwork!
    I can't think of only one thing that I like about RCA. Whenever I need something cool and unusual I head over there. I guess if I had to choose just one thing it would have to be their chip board shrines and similar object. So much fun and so easily individualized!

    ReplyDelete
  37. I went to RCA - already follow their blog and have shopped at their store. They have great and unusual products. I love the shrines they have - they are unusual and easy to create!!!

  48. These are fabulous, I have bought several chandeliers (christmas ornaments etc) but then i don't know where to start. Why don't you make some kind of pattern to make a theatre - I would buy it and I am sure many more would. I would LOVE to wind the Retro Cafe Art prize - everything they gave is wonderful!!
