* Gecko Galz: Secret Garden

 

Hello!

Can you believe that we are in May already? Time is flying by! We are entering my favourite time of the year and I'm so happy to have lighter evenings and warmer temperatures.

The new challenge has started at the Gecko Galz Challenge Blog and the theme this month is Secret Garden.

We would love for you to join our challenge. The only rule is that you use at least one Gecko Galz product. The challenge runs until the 29th May.

I made a couple of items for customer challenge inspiration. 

The first is a couple of Fairy Door Cards.

Here they are with the door shut:

And here they are opened:

I used the Blooming Waters ATC set to create the backgrounds and the doors are from the Behind Door collage set. I scored the card to act as the door hinge and before adhering the door images, I scored, folded and inked the kraft card so that it would look like wooden planks when opened.

My fairies, their butterflies, frog and rabbit come from the StoryBook Garden Kit and the toadstools are from Nature's Beauty.

My second project is a tiny 3D canvas. I used the back of the canvas as a 'shadow box' to layer up the images to make a secret garden:

The lovely little girl is from the Easter Children Collage set and the roses are from the Dream Garden ATC set. I found some bullrushes on one of the Dream Garden ATCs and used one of the papers from the Dapper Nouveau ATC set as the background paper. 

That's all for now!
I hope you'll join our Secret Garden 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.
