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!
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.
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!
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.

Wonderful artwork!
ReplyDeleteI 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!
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!!!
ReplyDeleteWOW - what a fabulous giveaway!! and your project is AMAZING, Jen! And thanks for the chance! I liked their facebook page and my favorite item from the store is the washi tape and those tiny mice!!
ReplyDeleteI love your steampunk circus diorama. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteI do love all their different shrines. They have such great products. How about that new carousal explosion box. I can't wait to get one.
ReplyDeleteFantastical creation. Well done! I've been a fan of RAG on fb for some time now. Would love a gift certificate. Ty for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteYour Steampunk shrine kit project is totally awesome! I am tickled to have found my way to your blog from Kristin's blog post!
ReplyDeleteKindest regards,
Jennifer
This is incredible! I'm totally starting to get into steampunk now.
ReplyDeleteMy first visit to the Facebook page, looked like a great place so I "liked" it and added a comment.

ReplyDeleteI'm already a FB fan - and left a message. Love everything in the store - the vintage selections are great. Thanks for the chance to win. (gildamc@hotmail.com)
ReplyDeleteThese 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!!

Hi Jennifer - I "liked" Retro Cafe Art Gallery on Facebook. My favorite is definitely the washi tape!
ReplyDeleteI 'liked' the Retro Cafe Art Gallery on FB long ago, but I left them a message so they knew you sent me over! With so much awesome goodness at their store it's impossible to choose just one item, but I love their Antique German doll selection the mostest!

ReplyDeleteOoops... and I love their stencils the most!
