Gecko Galz: Garden Children & Fairies

 

Hello

Today is my DT Feature day at Gecko Galz and I have a couple of projects to share.

 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.

First, I made a slimline card and coloured one of the many vintage digital stamps we have in store.

The stamp is from the Spring Gems set and I coloured it with Copic markers, adding some gel pen accents here and there. I trimmed it, matted it onto black card and mounted it on a resized ATC from the Blooming Waters set. I added some ribbon and a bow.

My next project also uses the Blooming Water ATC set (enlarged) for backgrounds:

The floral borders from the Dream Garden ATC set were fussy cut, inked around the edges, and popped on foam tape for dimension, over the Blooming Water images. 

I fussy cut some Pixie Children, added Wink of Stella to their wings and tucked them down behind the flower border.

Each was matted onto white card and again onto black card before being adhered to the card base.

The sentiments are Tim Holtz 'Small Talk' stickers.

My customer Inspiration project was a shadow box secret garden. 

You can see more photos and read about it here.

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!
