* Gecko Galz: Birds and Bees

 

Hello

I have 3 posts today:

Post 1: Birds and Bees (this one)

Post 2: Bunny in Strawberries - Vintage Digital Stamp Challenge

Post 3: Tulips

It's March, the month that heralds the arrival of Springtime, and at Gecko Galz our new customer challenge 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 collage sheet.

I made a couple of bright and cheerful cards:  

The first uses an image from the new Butterflies and Bees collage set and papers from the Honey Honey ATC set, along with a perfect sentiment from the Spring Time Sentiments digital stamp set. The papers were resized to fit m card and matted onto black card. The image and papers are quite busy, so the only embellishment I needed was a die cut crochet border in gold. 

The second card has a fabulous, colourful bird and bee image from the What's The Buzz collage set. I teamed it with paper depicting bees from the Honey Honey ATC set and another beautiful sentiment from the Spring Time Sentiment stamp set. This time I added some gold stickers - do you remember those - I've had them in my stash for decades, so it was nice to put some to use here!

That's all for now!

I hope you'll join our Birds and Bees 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!
