* Gecko Galz: Sea of Dreams 2

 Hello

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

The customer challenge theme this month is Sea of Dreams and these are my interpretation of that theme.

My first project is an altered notebook, so that plans for summer days out and picnics can be noted down.

This lovely image, from Beauty and the Beach, shouts summertime to me - she's running along the beach with her puppy and looks so happy! I think I see her handsome partner following behind! So the image was printed and the edges distressed. I popped it onto paper from the Tortuga Bay ATC set, rounding the corners on the right hand side to match the shape of the notebook. I used a black Sharpie marker to colour the kraft coloured notebook cover in black. Some gold, sequin-waste trim was layered across the paper, then the image glued on top. I found this trim in my stash and added it along the left hand side - I secured it in place with bulldog clips until it was fully adhered. Some die cut seaweed was also adhered around the image for texture and dimension.

The title is Tim Hotz alphabet tiles stuck onto white card. I trimmed around the card and added some Glossy Accents to make the words dimensional.

For my second project, I made two mini notecards.

The papers are from the Tortuga Bay ATC set once more. I added white paint splatters and die cut small squares to add behind each image.

These three ladies are also from the Beauty and the Beach collage set. Everything is glued flat and the dies and dried flowers add a little texture and dimension.

This image is from the Aloha collage set. The words I chose came from the Tim Holtz Small Talk sticker book.

My final project is a set of cards.

This was the one I blogged about on the 1st July and if you want the details you can see them here.

That's all for now!
