Gecko Galz: Birds and Bees and Butterflies

Hello

The month of March heralds the arrival of Springtime, and over at the Gecko Galz blog our customer challenge theme is Birds and Bees.

We also have the monthly Image Challenge and the monthly Christmas Image Challenge, as well as 4 Facebook challenges. 

We hope you can find some time to join in the fun.

The winner of the Customer challenge will get a $25 Gecko Galz Etsy Store voucher and the runner up a $12 voucher. There are plenty of free Gecko Galz images if you don't already own any. Each blog post has a free image to collect and, if you sign up for the monthly newsletter, there is the chance to claim a free collage set each month.  Also if you make any purchase of $2 or more you receive a free image.

For my DT day, I made some pretty notecards featuring birds and butterflies.

My birdie notecards were really simple to make:  

I enlarged the ATCs from the Dream Garden set, digitally added one of the Spring Time Sentiments and matted it onto black card. I fussy cut the robin and the yellow bird from the Little Birds Collage Set and the blue tit from the Garden Botanica paper pack, and I popped them on foam pads to give them some dimension.

These are my favourite ATCs ... I love the beautiful flowers and the colours.

 

  

The 4 x 4 inch butterfly notecards were another simple make. 

The images are from the new Butterflies and Bees collage set. I printed each image twice, once for the base and I fussy cut the butterfly from the second print and adhered it just at the body so that the wings are free. I applied Glossy Accents to the butterfly's body and I added a Small Talk sticker on each card.

Here are my Customer Challenge Inspiration projects. 

You can read about them here is you so wish.
