I am VERY excited to announce our first giveaway. Hopefully the first of many!
For our first giveaway, I am honored to be partnered up with Elizabeth Levi of Blue Chair Studio.
Elizabeth has lived a full and varied life. She grew up in Iowa, headed West for a while, became a wife, a mother, an artist and then the pendulum swung back, landing her back in Iowa after a long road of adventuring.
Elizabeth’s style is colorful and carefree. She finds inspiration in art supplies and found objects of every medium. Her philosophy is that people should not be so quick to judge themselves when they’re making art or to give up too soon on their creativity. She thinks an artist is “a person who is willing to put fear in their pocket while they waltz with mistakes and polka with problems, and then frame the mistakes that come out just right.” What a great attitude!
And so without further adieu, here is the info about our giveaway! Elizabeth has been kind enough to offer a set of SIX lovely handmade notecards (seen below). These are printed on 80-pound cardstock, then hand embellished with paint, paper, ephemera and Elizabeth’s adorable stylings. All the cards are blank on the inside, but have varied messages on the outside: Hello (2), Congratulations, Get Well, Thank You, and Happy Birthday. A nice selection of colored envelopes are included for mailing.
