* Gecko Galz: Creatures of The Night ATCs

 Hello

This month at the Gecko Galz Facebook Group we have had an ATC swap with the theme Creatures of the Night. We are given the ATC background papers and a sheet of images with which to make our collage ATCs. Here are mine inside a little folder style wallet to keep them safe whilst in transit:

I had so much fun making these ATCs. Here are close ups showing that each one has dyed cheesecloth in the background, along with some tiny gemstones and lace trim.

The sentiments are from the Snarky Cats Halloween stamp set by Stampers Anonymous.

Haha .... Dracula is trick or treating ...

Can you see the google eyes popped into the skull charm? I love that this monster is afraid of the other monster, or is it the dark that he's afraid of? :)

Frankenstein's Monster looks so miserable and glum, I gave him the snarky 'Happy Halloween' sentiment and a giant spider on his shoulder.

Here is the ATC folder I made. The dotty paper is printed on one side only, so I added some Distress Oxides to the reverse and made tuck spots for the ATCs. Ribbon is the closure. I found some small images in my little Gecko Galz Halloween scrap tin and used these to decorate the tuck spots.

Here is the folder closed and tied with ribbon.

And the inside folder is decorated too.

I couldn't' send the ATCs without a card, so here is one that I had made years ago using Gecko Galz images. 

And of course, I added some little extras - bits and bobs of lace trim, ribbon, gem strips as well as some die cuts, spiders and google eyes.

If you'd like to join our next ATC swap, come and join the Gecko Galz Facebook group. We'd love to see you there.
