* Gecko Galz: Colour of Summer Flag Book

Hello!

I hope that the start of the new month sees you all safe and well. 

The new month sees the start of a new customer challenge at the Gecko Galz blog. The theme for June is Colour of Summer. We would love for you to join the challenge using one or more products from Gecko Galz.

For me, summer is a time for visiting the seaside. I love the sea air and the salty small of the ocean, so my colours for summer are blues, teals, turquoise and sands.
Here is my project:

I made a flag booklet which, when opened up, has the pages flapping in different directions.  The base of my booklet is 300 gsm card which I have painted with chalk acrylics using a brayer and stencilled over the top. The front and back has additional stamping.
The beautiful images are from the Summer Seas and Sea Life collage sets with a few additions from the Beachy Jewels set.

The front and back of the booklet showing the tags incorporated into the back page. Tim Holtz Small talk stickers are used for the labels.
 

The booklet opens like so:



or individual pages can be turned:






Textured trim, cheesecloth and decoupaging add more dimension. The spines are also decorated with tiny images:

That's all for now!
I hope you'll join our Colour of Summer Challenge where the Winner will get a 

$25 shopping spree 
at the Gecko Galz shop.

The only rule is that you must use at least one Gecko Galz product 
(this can be one of the freebies or, of course, you can buy at the Etsy store!) 

Also if you sign up for the Gecko Galz newsletter, you'll be able to claim a free collage sheet each month and get first claim on the monthly $1 deals!

Please pop over to the Gecko Galz blog to see the fabulous designs by the very talented DT.

We also have a friendly Facebook Group where there are 4 monthly challenges, each with a collage sheet prize. 
Do come and join us!

I'll be back on the 20th with more Gecko Galz projects.
