Featured Creation by Shelley

Thank you for stopping by today for another crafter showcase, where we feature a fellow crafter's creation!  Today we have a beautiful card from Shelley Lanthier, using the EXCLUSIVE, special edition fundraiser digi called "Starfish Mermaid".

Isn't Shelley's card gorgeous?  The coloring on the mermaid is lovely, with wonderful attention to detail from hair ornament to glossy hair to the shadows on her forehead, cast by the ringlets (My favorite part!!).  The embellishments of bubbles and fish scales all add to expand on the ocean theme for a delightful card.  You can read all about this in her own words on her blog here.

Now, you may be wondering what I meant by the big red letters earlier, "EXCLUSIVE".  It means that this digi was drawn for Cristena Bagne's special fundraiser "Coloring for Clean Water" event, and it's only available through this event!  Many of my fans and AW DT ladies have donated to the cause and received this digi and others.   There are four other artists who also donated their images to the cause, and you can choose just one digi ... or get all five, depending on your donation amount from $3 to $12.

Isn't she pretty?  You can get her for just $3 USD donation.  But you must hurry.  Today's your last chance!

Do you want it?  Then hurry on over to the fundraiser page right here and show your support TODAY!
Sounding like a used car sales person trying to lock you into a deal, I mean it.  Today is the last day of the fundraiser.  If you miss the deadline (midnight Pacific Time), you will not find this pretty mermaid anywhere.  So go and give $3 (or more, if you can) and get this for your coloring fun.  It really is a win-win situation!!  You get to perform a not-so-random act of kindness by donating to a good cause, and create not-so-random act of beauty by coloring and crafting with this pretty digi!

Today is also the last chance to take advantage of the special discount code at AW Etsy.  I don't know how else to sweeten the deal.  LOL  :D  Happy shopping!

Please be advised that this code is for digital stamp purchase only.  If you're purchasing non-digi items, please order them separately without using this code.  Any non-digi items that are included on an order that uses this code will be cancelled from your order with a refund.  Thank you for your understanding.

Featured Creation by Jane

Hi, everyone!  Thank you for stopping by for another crafter showcase today.  I have a cute card with a Sprite by Jane Bradshaw right here.

AW's popular Poppy Sprite looks beautiful here colored in rich scarlet, bright yellow green, accented with black.  Jane's card is completed with lovely patterns in red and white, grosgrain ribbon with 'hugs & kisses' print, and pretty paper poppies for a darling birthday card.  Poppies have such a universal appeal as they grow wild in so many parts of the world, and are associated with the sentiment of remembrance.  It is a perfect image for cards that say, "Thinking about you".

"Poppy Sprite" is available at AW Etsy in JPG and transparent background PNG, and at AW website in JPG.  Comes in 5" x 6.5" (12.7 x 16.5 cm approx.), 1500 x 1950 pixels at 300 dpi.

In case you missed the announcement on the Facebook, the first volume of Sprites coloring book in half-size mini format is now available at AW Etsy shop right here.  For this publication, all of the previously traditionally rendered (meaning, drawing in pen on paper) Sprites were digitally redrawn, resulting in much more crisp lines for the coloring pages.  12 Sprites are included in this book.  You can view all the inside pages at this link.

Are you itching to treat yourself to add more digis to your AW digi stash for your crafting and coloring fun?  Don't forget to use the discount code for 20% OFF available this weekend!!  The minimum is only $5 USD.  Don't miss this chance to save at the AW Etsy shop.  The code is good only on digital stamps.

AuroraWings is one of the proud sponsors of Coloring for Clean Water fundraiser that is taking place tomorrow, Saturday, August 29.  (*Clicking on the above link will take you to the Facebook event page for more info.)
I am donating a brand new, exclusive PNG digi, which you will be able to get with a donation to the cause.  Cristena Bagne, the host and organizer of this event, has several different digi companies/artists donating images, and I believe you can choose the one you like to receive.  There is a coloring contest that you'll be able to enter, using the digis offered through the fundraiser.

Here's the third and final sneak preview of the donated digi of mine.  ^_^  Combine all three images, and you'll have a pretty good idea what this one looks like, I'm sure.

There will be prizes at the fundraising event, also.  Be sure to check it out.
Have a great weekend, everyone!!
