Fun Friday Find: A Pet Portrait Give Away!

Not your typical Fun Friday Find...



Last April I had my first give away- An 8 x 10 Pet Portrait! 
It was a lot of fun and I got to draw this gal. The winner was Tiffany, aka The Cranky Queen and the portrait of their dog "Dixie Belle" ended up being a Father's Day gift for her hubby. 


Time to do it again!

Before I get into the details of the give away- once again, I would just like to say thank you to everyone who follows Ispirato Design blog.  I started blogging at the beginning of this year to inspire others. Whether it's to do a home improvement project, make a handmade gift or just to have a glimpse at what others are doing in the design world, first and foremost, my goal is to inspire! I hope I'm doing that for you because over the course of this year I have certainly been inspiredconstantly. So many  inspire me with their ideas, talents and photos and many make me laugh with their good humor and wit. So, once again,  thank you for that!

Without further adieu, In appreciation for following Ispirato Design and to encourage more to follow along, I'm offering this give away:

 A Gift Certificate for a 
Custom 8x10 Pet Portrait in Pencil
That's a $100 value! 
Now, before you get too excited - read the fine print at the end of this post. 


Here are the rules:

1. To be eligible to win you must be a "Follower" of Ispirato Design. Just click on the Follow button in the right side bar. You'll be prompted to choose the account that you want to use and then click Follow Publicly. You'll know you've done it right when see a square tile that represents you (you are given the option of uploading a photo).

2. To enter just leave a comment in the comment area at the bottom of this post to say that you're a follower(Make sure that your name links to an email or leave me an email address in your comment)

3.To enter more than once do any or all of the following, and leave a separate comment for each one at the end of this post.
      a.) "Like" Ispirato Design on Facebook and then leave me a comment to tell me that you did.
      b.) "Like" my Home and Pet Portrait Page on Facebook and then leave me a comment  to tell me that you did.
      c.) Follow me on Twitter and then leave me a comment to tell me that you did.
      d.) Blog about the give away and link back to it (I would love it if you used my little button that I created!) and then leave me a comment to tell me that you did.


So that's up to five possible entries (comments) per person - be sure to leave a separate comment for each one that you do (ie. I just liked your facebook page or I just followed you on twiiter etc.) It makes it so much easier for me at the end!

The contest will close at midnight on the day that I reach 200 Followers! 
I'm hoping to get there by the end of the summer so that the portrait could be a gift for you or someone on your gift list this holiday season!

I will choose the winner using random.org

Now the fine print: 
-The gift certificate will expire one year from the day of receipt
-I will leave the name blank so it can be transferred
-The complete instructions are on the back of the certificate
-Instructions include sending me a suitable photograph 
-Shipping is not included
-Allow 4-6 weeks for delivery after I receive a suitable photograph
* A suitable photograph is a clear photo that shows your pet as you would like it portrayed. Poor quality photos result in poor quality portraits so I cannot accept these. A selection of images for me to choose from is ideal.


Good Luck!!! 
You can see a sample of my work by clicking on the Pet Portrait button in the sidebar or visit my Home & Pet Portraits Facebook page or my Etsy shop.
