* Gecko Galz: More Mermaids


Hello!

This month at Gecko Galz the customer challenge theme is Merry Mermaids. The lucky winner will receive a $25 store voucher.

Here is my DT project:


I used paper from the Wood Work ATC set, digitally enlarging it to fit my card. The beautiful mermaid image is from Mermaid Kingdom collage set and the shells are from the Beach Life ATC collection.


The image was cut and distressed around the edges. It was mounted onto kraft card which was also distressed. The shells were fussy cut to use as a border along the edge of the topper. I added Diamond Stickles to the shells and also to the mermaid's tail. The sentiment is a Tim Holtz Small Talk sticker.


***
This was the 3D collage that I made for the beginning of August and if you are interested you can read about it and the products I used here.



That's all for now!
I hope you'll join our Merry Mermaids 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 1st September with more Gecko Galz projects.

    Wow, your maritime-themed cards are so pretty and just perfect for this time of the year. I love your vintage mermaid, and the arrangement of shells. Great layering of different background papers, too. I haven't been to the seaside in two years, and I'm not sure whether I'll be able to see the big blue anytime soon, but it feels like a piece of the sea has been brought to me by your creation. Thanks for joining the Alphabet challenge.

    Hugs, Veronika
