Hello!
It's my DT day at Gecko Galz and I have made 3 cards following this month's theme of Midsummer's Dream.
My cards are of simple design using background papers and focal images from the collections at Gecko Galz (links to the products I used are listed below the photos). I added matting and layers to add dimension and interest to the cards and distressed the edges of papers to give a worn appearance.
Card 1: Dreamer of Dreams
Focal Image: Midsummer Night collage set
Paper: Pixie Dust paper pack (no longer available?)
Sentiment: Charming Words
Own Stash: Lace, paper flowers, leaf die, dark blue shimmer paper, Stickles

Card 2: Midsummer Night's Dream
