While the Cat’s Away Day 6: Garment District
Filed under Cat's Away... 2013, Contests/Winners, Giveaways, Newsletters, Sale
Hey, it’s Day 6 of the While the Cat’s Away Giveaways! And today’s theme is Garment District.
I took my cue from the New! Garment District Papers for a Vintage Sewing-Themed Giveaway (and BIG Vintage Sewing Theme Sale!) And Teri Calia also took that vintage sewing cue for her adorable Sewing Notes Book!
Teri started with the cute, little Mini Book – Tag, then mixed in a fair amount of black, along with the pinks and blue/greys (and it may be hard to see, but also some of the Metallic Distress Paints for an antique gilded look — applied through the Tim Holtz Dot Fade Stencil for a quick way to add texture).
This new paper collection has beautiful french ads and ephemera, mixed with dress forms, shoes and hats, and pinks roses scattered throughout.
And since the new papers have a bit of a steampunk style, I’ve included the New and On Sale! Steampunk Metal Stick Pins in the Giveaway, too!
See Teri’s full Supply List. And/or view more photos in the Gallery.
Today’s Giveaway includes ALL of the New and On Sale! Garment District Paper Collection (12 x 12s and the 6×6 pad), EVERYTHING in Teri’s Supply List (including the Tim Holtz Dot Fade Stencil and Set of 3 Metallic Distress Paints), plus a big bunch of coordinating sewing-themed elements (so scroll down to see another photo and learn how to enter the contest).
