And now our today's giveaway: 3 PAPERCUT PRINTS.

 

These are three new papercut prints that I just listed on my Etsy store. I have been so excited about creating a few papercut prints with color and these are the very first ones. They look sooo sweet in person! Each one measures 8.5 x 11 inches and they are printed on beautiful 100% cotton, acid-free paper with a nice textured finish.

If you would like to win one of them just leave a comment here and also let me know which one would you like to win? I will announce the 3 winners on Monday, February 9th, 2009.

Have a wonderful Monday my friend!!!!

Elsita :)

Oh Elsita, what a wonderful giveaway. Personally I like the middle picture best. I love the fruit shape with the girl and creatures inside - and that shade of blue is the colour I have throughout most of my interior decor.

[Berenice]

All your work is nice, it is a long time that I come from time to time to discover your new pieces of art! If I would be one of the lucky winner, the 1st and the 3rd one are my favourite! Continue to imagnine your way!

[michelle loyola]

You are so generous with your giveaways. I think all of them are beautiful. I would like to be entered please. You are so talented.

Abrazo,
Michelle

[Berenice]

I love what you do, each time I go to your blog (which is my favourite!), I am happily surprised! If I am the lucky winner, the 1st or the 3rd one would be my choices! Thank you for all the nice pieces of art you create!

[Marquita]

I was going to leave a comment, anyway.
I really loved the one in the middle. Congratulations for such a delicate work.

[Marta]

Hello, hope you had a great weekend. I love them all, maybe the first is my favorite but i'm having a hard time picking one.

[Mithi]

Wow .... you're so Generous giving these away .... I would LOVE to have one, any one...

Probably leaning towards the bottom two (isn't it interesting how everyone has preferred different ones ....)

[Inês]

i would love to win one of these prints. any of them, they're all lovely, absolutely no preference :)

[manuela]

so I will try again because your work is so beautiful.
I think I have found your blog in an important moment of my life. I was needing energy and some how I find it here in form of motivation. thank you.

love them all, but the 1. and the 3. are somehow intriguing. i like that.

have a nice week.
um abraço,
Manela

[silvia]

Hola Elsita
son preciosos los tres, pero si tengo que elegir me quedaría con el primero o el tercero.
Un beso grandote

[zahidi nadia]

Bonjour Elsa ! merci de partager si généreusement vos créations.Votre travail me touche beaucoup et m'émerveille aussi je vous rends visite chaque jour ainsi qu'à Bill dont j'ai adoré l'article sur Nelson Algren...
Je me régale, vous m'apprenez tant de choses tous les deux...En rêve j'adorerai le petit chaperon rouge dans la pomme !
avec toute mon amitié

[Margaret Oomen]

Very tough choice but I think the apple is my favorite. I love every little detail.Happy Monday to you to Elsita.

[Mim]

You know I love your work. Any print would be a treasure. Thanks for sharing your life and art with us :)

[Ana Almeida]

Dear Elsita they are all gorgeous. Although the first one reminded me of my sister who sings so well that I trully believe she as a little bird inside of her, just like the girl of your papercut! Thank you for sharing with us your work (I hope some day buy one)

[molly]

Your work is just stunning. I love them all but especially the apple. I'm just seeing now that your work is featured in a gallery in Bethesda -- which is close to where I live! Looking forward to going and checking it out in person.

[angela p]

so, so, so kind of you.
it's a very hard decision to make so early in the morning, but i think i'm going to stick with the first papercut.
thank you!

[Bonney]

I gave one of your prints to each of my 4 children for Christmas and they loved them. My husband must have commented a dozen times how much HE loved them. I'd love to win any of them but I especially love the apple!

[Donna]

I always wondered what was REALLY inside an apple, and now I know. Thanks for taking the time to snip away the skin to see the (our) interior. I just discovered your blog and am completely smitten! Thank you for entering me in the drawing.

[Gudrun Lara]

February 9th is my birthday so I am sincerely hoping I'll win any one of those amazing prints as a birthday present! The blue and white one is in my favorite colors but I also love the softness of the other two.

Thanks Elsita for sharing your talent with us once again!

[Rebecca]

These are so beautiful! I would love to have the Red Riding Hood one.

[Mela]

Wow, I'd love to win the first one. The girl is so pretty...

[Laura]

I love the first print! Beautiful

[Maria João]

I follow your work for a while and i just love it. I admire both your work as an artist and as a mother :)
If I'll win any of this 3 print it dosen't matter wich one...i'll be very happy!

[Emily]

These are lovely! I would be happy to see each of them hung on the wall above my desk, but I think I prefer the apple the most!

[katrina grace craig]

the third one with the rabbit. if i don't win it, i'll probably have to buy it, thereby bringing closer the day when i will have an entire wall covered with elsa...

[Valerie]

blue apple.
exceedingly sweet!

[redmeg8]

Hi Elsa! I LOVE the second one, the apple. They are all lovely, however! Your papercuts are so inspiring!!

[Ellen]

Oh, all 3, please! But of course, since I have to choose...I like the middle one, the apple. Wonderful work.

[Melanie SwensonM]

It would be an honor to win one of your paper cuts. I love them all..but the one that would mean alot to me, would be the pink background with girl riding her pet bunny!

[Lucia]

I love the first papercut...the girl with the chickie and the boots! Thank you for such a fun give-away!!
Lucia

[Surya]

Elsita,
I would love to win the little girl and the rabbit, because that's what I call my daughter - Bunny! your work is gorgeous as usual!
Surya

[Karrin Hurd]

I would love to be in the drawing for the girl and the bunny.

[Chistina J.]

I love them all! I think the first one might be my favorite. I keep changing my mind!

[Ginger]

Gorgeous!

[sarah]

They are all so dear, but I think the Little Red Riding Hood one is my favorite. (The second one) Thanks for the opportunity!

[Danielle Luke]

Oh they are all so beautiful! I would love to win the middle one!

[Melissa Crowe]

Oh, Elsa--these are so beautiful. My daughter, when she was tiny, used to say that certain things made her "squiver." You're work makes me squiver. :-)

I'd love to have any of them, but the one on blue paper is my favorite.

[Claudia]

They are all just so beautiful and amazing. Thank you for sharing your art with us.

[Ursula Shaw]

What a wonderful giveaway! Your papercut prints are beautiful.

[Flassie]

OH, They are all so beautiful!!!
I'd like to win the first one!!!

God Bless You and Yours and Your
Very Creative Life!!!

[Bunny]

I am madly in love with the apple papercut!

[laura]

They are so lovely! I would be so happy to win any of them, but the first one has a special place in my heart. Sometimes I feel like that little girl, with so many ideas growing inside me. :)

[Sharon Hermens]

I have been reading your blog for a while now and really enjoy it. It's nice to hear about people across the USA! I love your paper cuttings and would love to win one to hang on my wall. Thank you...
Sharon from TX

[yvonne]

i love your papercuts. i'm not sure i'd ever have the patience to do anything like them. intricate cutting like that always makes my hands itchy! anyway, i really love the apple.

[Melody]

I love the first or second one most! It's such an amazing papercut print. Great work!

Thanks for the giveaway!

[Mariko]

I love your work! I'd love to win any of them, but I especially love the one in the middle (the apple).

[Sam]

Oh, Elsita, they're gorgeous as always! I love the light you bring into our lives. I love the top one the most, I think, but they're all just wonderful. :) Thank you, as always, for sharing with us!

[Corinne]

These really are beautiful, and great color choices. If I won, I would choose the third print. (I have one already, very similar to the 2nd!)
Thanks for these contests, so much fun, and you are so generous!

[Crystal]

Second one please! It's so pretty!

[H.S.]

I like the apple(second picture) print most. Then again, all are so amazing to admire! You're really talented!

[Mel]

1st one! OOh! *crosses fingers!* i hope i win one! It doesn't matter which one really as i like them all.

[saskia]

I would pick the first one--mostly because the imagery speaks to me the most as a woman--my own inner garden, not always as neat and pretty as my outward appearance is expected to be--a little unruly even! I adore the other two and would be elated to receive any of them! I love that you use fairy tale/folk art imagery in your work, and I admire your skill and artistry(I took a class in this once--so interesting!).

[Alexis]

I love all three, but if I am forced to choose, I would pick the middle one because I especially love apples!

Your work is stunning!

[Rachael]

I am just so in love with all your work. It's so delicate and pretty. I just recently discovered your blog and i can't get enough of it. Thank you so much for sharing!

I would love to win one of your prints. I would be more than happy with any of them, but the first and third are my favorite.

[Marisol Fojas]

Ohhh Elsita, casí me pierdo este Giveaway porque estoy de vacaciones en casa de mi padre en valencia y me he metido en internet para leer tu comentario sobre el dibujo del otro día y ha valido la pena!!!
Otra vez gracias por tu generosidad!!!
A ver si soy la afortunada aunque he de decirte que desde que conocí tu blog y tus trabajos ya me siento afortunada de poder disfrutarlos!
Gracias mil y mil y un abrazos!
Marisol

[Hanne Dale]

Hi, I would like to be entered into the giveaway to win one of your lovely papercuts. I especially like the yellowish one at the top!

All the best, H

[Alex]

Such pretty paper treats. The apple is my favorite for today, but I do love bunnies, too...

[Elizabeth]

I just love the Red Riding Hood papercut. All of your work is amazing, as usual. :)

[logos63]

...I'm simply in love with Soul Girl, my dear!:o)

Thanks again for another great giveaway, and a big kiss to you and your lovely family from Italy! :o****

[Kathleen]

These are just so lovely! I always find such inspiration in the wonderful worlds you create on paper. The middle work of the apple containing the animals, girl and natural elements is one of my favorites.

[Colleen (BCharmer)]

You have the BEST giveaways! Any of the three that you have listed here would be amazing, but If I HAD to choose I think I would pick the girl and her rabbit. Then I might have to purchase the other two... I wish I had a bigger house to fit all of your artwork in!

[Circa1972]

I adore your work. Very inspirational. I have been working on my first papercuts and can appreciate the artistry so much more now that I've had the furstrations of delicate paper ripping where you do NOT want it to rip. ha ha. I love all the prints, but if I was to win, I would especially like the first girl, with the flower in her hand, the little boots on and the lovely ribbons in her hair.

[meg]

put my name in the hat for the lovely blue print.

[lorena]

Las tres me encantan pero, la primera, me mueve cosas por dentro.
Gracias Elsita, eres un solete.
Besos,
Lorena

[Eva Krzeminski]

I love all of your papercuts, but out of these three- I'd have to say the middle one of the apple :) I just love children's stories.

[shean]

Your work is so beautiful and the detail unreal. I love the 2nd one the apple the child all are remarkable.

Thank you
Shean

[ani]

love the prints on color paper! numbers one and two strike my fancy...

:)

[Irit]

I love them all, but I think Apple is my favorite. A complete story in one little print!

[Renee]

These are all beautiful. It is almost impossible to pick just one, but I would select the apple if I won.

[Patti]

Your work is simply wonderful! I found my way to your blog when searching for info on Frida Kahlo, which led to your 2007 dollhouse version of Frida's studio. Marvelous! I love the papercut print with the rabbit... the third one. Fun!

[JOHNNY]

I wouldn't mind given one of these lil' sweeties a home......

[Dianne]

Elsa, I love your blog, it's quite addictive! All the cuts are beautiful.

[Debbie Peysen]

I am in such awe of your pieces of art. If I was luckly enough to win, I would love the first one, the girl with the cutting inside of her.

Thank you for a chance to win
debbie p

[DeerDominique]

Those are all so lovely. If I win, I will use them to decorate my 2 year old daughter's room, which we have just finished painting a subtle mango color. My favorite is the apple. Apples to me are already full of magical lore, and you've really drawn out beautiful imagery.

[suzanne urban]

Oh I love the rabbit silhouette, wonderful art and how generous of you, I too have a give-away on my blog so hope you will win something from me in return!

[Mirena]

Thank you very much for your giveaways Elsita!!!! My favorite is the third one, the girl with the rabbit. I would love to win it. Thanks

[tricia]

Oh they are all really beautiful:) I think my favorite is the last one with the rabbit....but i also love the little red one in the shape of an apple.....hmmmm

[kim]

How wonderful--please enter me in the contest--I love them all and would be happy to have any of them!

[célia jordão alves]

Hi Elsita! Thank you for your generosity, for your joy and for your love. You are beautiful! If I could win one of these works of yours I would be very happy with any one of them. If I really had to choose, I would pick the apple one. :-) Have a nice day.

[minouette]

Happy Groundhog Day Elsita!
I would love to win any of your cut-out prints. :) I think my favorite is the first, followed by the pink one, but I would love the apple on blue too.

Best wishes,
Ele

[Sarah S.]

Such a hard decision but I think I would have to pick the apple.

-Sarah

[Emily]

These are so darling and imaginative! I'd love to win the apple one, it'd be so cute framed and in my kitchen!

[bethany]

Elsita,

I am more than thrilled to have won your give-away!!! Ever since reading about the Squam Art Workshops, I have been dreaming of going there. This is not the year, but maybe next year. Maybe you'll instruct then too? We will see! Thank you thank you thank you soooo much!!!!!! I wish I could give you a huge hug!!!

love, Bethany

[Jamie V]

I'm a rabbit collector so I particularly love that piece but they are all so wonderful! Jamie V in MT

[Ana]

Dear Elsita,
The three paper-cuts are beautiful, but if I have to choose, I would lean for the 2nd or 3rd one. You are so generous to share them with us. Have a lovely day. Ana

[Ashley]

These are so very sweet, I personally LOVE the apple best...but yeesh! it's hard to choose :)

[Kim]

They are all beautiful. My favorite is the apple.

[Karen Anne Glick]

Oooh I love the apple one!

[christina]

i love them all, but the first and second are my faves...I have been dying to have a piece of your work on my wall!

[Princesstefer]

Elsita, you create such beautiful work, I'd have a hard time choosing my favourite out of the three, but I suppose my mood today has me more captivated by the first of them. I really enjoy reading your blog in the morning when I drink my tea. :) Keep up the great work.

[Meg]

They are all lovely, but my favorite would have to be the first one. Your talent and generosity are inspiring :)

[Ruby T]

Hello,
Thank-you for bringing such magical, wonderful things into the world and being a most generous person!
I would cherish the apple print (2nd)--the use of space and detail is extraordinary.

[Daisy Chia]

gorgeous prints! i love them all! your work is amazing. thanks for inspiring.

[Marianne Wille]

I love the little apple cutaway.

I would love to watch you make one of these...I imagine you have tiny hands!

[Janet]

I adore your work! I would love to have #2!

[cam]

Oh Elsa, I've been meaning to respond to your last two posts asking what others see in your work, but I've failed at making time! Now I HAVE TO stop over and leave a note for your giveaway, you always have the most wonderful prizes for us! My favorite is the first girl papercut, but all three are delightful.

[shaina]

Honey, your work is so beautiful I'm having a tough time tearing myself away from staring at it to enter the contest!! I think the first one would be right at home in my "creative room" where the magic happens--and she may inspire a peculiar fashion or two when the sewing machine comes out! ;)

[Jamie Watson]

Thank you for another giveaway! Clearly, you are making all of us so happy. (-: I would like to win the apple.

[Jamie]

Pick one???? They are all too beautiful to play favorites, but if I had to pick just one it would be the 2nd one. I like apples =)
