Day after WCMD - Unity Challenge #3 and Giveaway still!

Well, I know it is the day after World Card Making Day, but I was so busy all day babysitting and such, that I didn't get started until later in the day, then the light wasn't good to take pictures and post them. So...I am putting up three posts today with the 3 challenge cards I completed on World Card Making Day - so I am extending my giveaway to any of these 3 posts, as well as yesterdays! I will probably draw a winner sometime the middle of next week, so you have plenty of time to leave comments on as many posts as you would like! Scroll to the bottom of this post if you want to see what you could win!

This was definitely out of my usual comfort zone - but I think I might have to try this kind of technique more often! I started by stamping and heat embossing this AMAZING image from Unity Stamps designed by Angie Blom with clear embossing powder on pattern paper from Basic Grey. I then inked it all over with Tim Holtz distress ink to make the image pop out.
I rounded the edges, inked them some more, stamped a sentiment from another Ippity set, then added a few doodles with my white gel pen to help it pop a bit more. 
Mounted it on some more pattern paper from Basic Grey, tucked some lace from Ribbon Carousel behind the front panel, and added a couple of stick on pearls to finish it off...

Now...if you made it all the way to here - here is a picture of what you can win!!! (HERE is my favorite project made with this set - can you see why I LOVE it?!?!?!?!?) I have had this thing lately with Mason Jars - and I just ADORE this stamp set from Unity Stamp, so I got a set to giveaway on my blog! It got packed and lost in the shuffle of moving, so even though I've had it for a while, I just found it recently and thought this was the perfect opportunity to give it away! So...for a chance to win, just leave a comment on any of my posts today - the more you leave, the better your chances of winning! Due to postage, US and Canada only (unless you want to help with shipping costs - then I am happy to send it international as well!) Good luck!
