* Gecko Galz: Garden Child

 

Hello

I have 3 posts today:

 April is such a beautiful month, with spring in the air and flowers starting to bloom.,  Over at the Gecko Galz blog our customer challenge theme is Garden Child.

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 customer Inspiration project I made a shadow box:

I used a small Tim Holtz vignette box (second size up) to make my secret garden. I used resized ATCs from two sets, Blooming Waters (for the backdrop) and Dream Garden which I fussy cut. I added Glossy Accents to the blue delphinium flowers in the background for some shine and dimension.

The little garden child is one of the stamps from the Victorian Spring Kit - isn't she lovely! I decided to leave her in black and white so that she would contrast with the colourful flowers.

Four tiny, wooden bobbins were added to the base of the box.

That's all for now!

I hope you'll join our Garden Child 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!
