Announcing Shari’s Win-a-Day Pick!

Welcome back to the blog!  This is the week we’re announcing our Win-a-Day on the Blog contest winners.  I have chosen the talented Pia Overgaard.  You can also check out her blog for more inspiration.

I have admired Pia’s work for a while. Her style seems to catch my eye with the somewhat simple style that is really a fantastic mix of techniques and layers but not overdone. Soothing muted and earthy tones are usually the base for her creations.

This card jumped out at me when I was looking through the Flickr gallery. The dramatic hit of color she added to this embossed resist Grape Flourish looks just amazing! Subtle stamping in the background and the simply stamped tag finish the card perfectly.

You all know that I love stamping techniques and this card is a beautiful example of the stamp kissing technique. Mixing the Designer Woodgrain background with the Floral Brocade is brilliant!

On this card Pia embossed the Starburt Lace image with white powder on patterned paper. The subtle softness of the patterned paper proves to be a perfect accent for the embossed images.

I’m looking forward to sharing a day with Pia!

Enjoy!
