Spring Rain Wrap-Up
Posted by Steve on April 18 at 05:20 pmWell, it’s on from one thing (Easter Egg Hunt) and onto the next (Spring Rain Contest Wrap-up). The winners have been selected… and you’ll find the results below.
The Winners
There were 50 Spring Rain designs submitted, racking up over 700 “Add to Favorites!” Based on the number of favorites and activity, here are the three winners of the Vintaj Spring Rain contest:
First Place: Spring Rain – Dance in the Rain by JustImagine – Val
From the designer:
“Made from the Spring Rain Necklace Kit. I did a little play on words and made my own “Spring(s)” for this design. This was so much fun!”
This was by far your favorite design in the contest. Not only were there a ton of favorites, JustImagine – Val also received a lot of praise in the comments. Here are a few comments:
“Very beautiful and creative. A one of a kind piece.” – R Grizzuto
“Absolutely stunning! The “springs” are a wonderful detail! I love the colors!” – Violet D
This is such a beautiful piece and so creative. I would love one just like it. And the photos to display it were very unique. Good luck, Val!
Second Place: Raindrops & Posies by D Beach
From the designer:
“The thing that I love most about Spring rains, is how the lingering raindrops seem to bring out the beauty and color of the flowers. I wanted to create a bracelet that combined the beauty of raindrops and flowers.”
Designer D Beach mentioned in her comments that this was the first time she entered a piece into a contest! So much for practice makes perfect… 
Third Place: It’s Raining, It’s Pouring! by Bucci Handmade Jewelry
From the designer:
“I made this piece for the Vintaj Spring Rain contest. I made dangles of all the glass and pearl beads and hung them from some Arte Metal chain. The simple S-hook clasp allows you to adjust the length of the necklace to suit your desire.”
The pearl and glass drops in this necklace are the perfect metaphor for the “Spring Rain” theme. It’s great to see how far super-creative people like Bucci Handmade Jewelry can push the limits of a basic kit.
All of our winners will be contacted shortly with their gift certificate codes. Thanks to everyone who participated in the contest, and we want to give a special thanks to Vintaj. This was our first time working this closely with them, and we hope that you had as much fun as we did! We’re looking forward to working with them again in the future.
