* Gecko Galz: Summer Time Fun


Hello!

Today is my DT day at Gecko Galz and I have some retro Summer Time projects to share.

The first is a trio of summer cards:


The cards were made with similar designs - nothing complicated just matting and layering and some pretty trims. I chose colourful images and matching papers from the hundreds available at the Gecko Galz Etsy store.

Papers: Paradise Island paper pack
Sentiment: Simply Sentimental stamp set
Own stash: Black ink, mesh trim, glitter stickers, green & gold trim, white card base, green card for matting.

I also made a card with one of this month's free images on the Gecko Galz blog. The freebie images this month are all summer themed and are perfect for the Gecko Galz customer challenge! 
My card details are here:
