I was commissioned through Etsy to create the artwork for a sweet cupcake poem to celebrate a little girl’s first birthday. First I illustrated everything the old fashioned way, with paper and ink, then I digitized the original art to create the colouring pages and painted the original illustration of their family portrait. I am so happy with the results that I am giving away five copies of the pictured colouring book to three OMHG readers!

This is a special giveaway with different rules than usual-while I love contests I am always a little sad to see a pile of entries flood in for giveaways when articles with great content only get a handful of comments. So in order to enter this giveaway, rather then tweeting, following or facebooking I am asking readers to go back through OMHG articles, discover new tutorials, tips and interviews and then comment! You will receive one entry for every comment made on a post OTHER than this one.

Just be sure to come back here and leave the title of the post you have commented on!

Winners will be chosen randomly on September 7th at midnight and the three winners will be announced on September 8th. Winners will not be notified by email, so be sure to check back to find out if you’ve won.  All prizes must be claimed within one week of the announcement.

By entering this giveaway, you agree to the Oh My! Handmade Goodness giveaway policies.

Happy Commenting!
