EtsyInspired #113 ~ Putu Princess Escapes

>> Friday, November 5, 2010

Hi Friends! It's Ashley here to write the EtsyInspired post this week. Wow, it's been awhile since I've actually blogged on this blog! Crazy, huh?

This week's EtsyInspired shop is Putu Princess Escape. Putu Princess Escapes specializes in stencil painted shirts. They have lots of awesome Asian inspired designs. One cool thing about these shirts is that the decoration isn't just on the front. Some shirts have designs on the back and some have designs on the sleeve. They have long sleeve and short sleeve shirts. They also carry maternity shirts. This week, Putu Princess Escapes is giving away one in stock t-shirt of the winner's choice.

To play along:

~Go to the Putu Princess Escapes shop and pick an item to be inspired by

~Make any creation you'd like and post a link to your creation on the InLinkz below

~Please include a link to the shop in your post

~Challenge ends on Friday Nov 12, noon Pacific time

~If you upload to an online gallery please use keyword EIC113

Here's a bit about our sponsor this week:

Some Odd Girl is the place to find fun and quirky digis that I know you will love! Some Odd Girl was inspired by two great friends who are such dolls! They took one of my pencil drawings and made it into red rubber and that act of generosity spiraled into what you see today. I am a married FTWM of 2 who has a hubby who not only loves me but supports my crafting and my site as my IT guy. What more could a girl want? I am an artist born who started out with pencils then acrylics and now scrapbook and am a cardmaker. I design things that I love and hope you have as much fun with our stamps as we do! Join us on September 21 for the release of our new Tinies line and don't forget about our monthly freebies and SOG Points program. Our Challenge Blog has bi-weekly fun that hopefully will help inspire you to use your digis!

Some Odd Girl is offering up 3 digis of the winner's choice this week as another prize.
