Denise's Cake and TWO $25.00 Gift Certificate Giveaways!



The fabulous Denise Phillips of Bird Nuts Mixed Media and I are at it again! She has created two fabulous projects for you to see, and we are BOTH having a giveaway on our blogs for a $25.00 Retro Cafe Art Gallery Gift Certificate! SO you have two chances to win! Before we get to the giveaways, let's check out Denise's awesome pieces!


Denise used several Retro Cafe Art Gallery products to make her amazing holiday cake including Paper Mache  Boxes, Incredi-tape and sheets (to attach her papers), German Dresden (Fancy Silver Scalloped), Ballerinas, Stand-Up Numbers, 6 Pane Window, Tinsel Garland, White Mica Flakes, Stand-Up Bus Stop Lady, Mini Christmas Light Garland, and White Alpha Beads. So yummy!


She used the Real Red Metal Paint to paint the ballerinas!





If you look under the cake you will see Denise used the lid from the largest box and a cut-out circle of cardboard to make the "cake plate". So clever!


And Denise didn't stop at the cake! She also made this adorable shrine using the ATC Shrine Kit, Stand-Up Bus Stop Lady, Filigree Box Feet, Ballerina, Medium Chiswick Frame and White Alpha Beads. I just love this so muh!


Thank you Denise for the wonderful inspiration and holiday cheer! We have some cheer for YOU too in the form of TWO giveaways!

GIVEAWAY Details:

1. To enter a chance for the gift certificate on this blog, simply leave a comment on this post!
2. Next, hop on over to Denise's blog, where she will also be giving away a Gift Certificate. Sign on as a follower of her blog and leave a comment. Then you are entered in BOTH giveaways with two chances to win!

    This is incredibly beautiful. What a great idea for a centerpiece for just about any event you might supply a cake for. And the cute stage mother shelf is cute as well. I see a lot of small wall shelf or spice rack type units at thrift stores and always try to think of what I would do with them. Thanks for the inspiration.
