Gecko Galz: Welcome to Wonderland

Hello

Welcome to Carmelle F, my new follower. 

Thank you for showing an interest in my projects :)

 At Gecko Galz the challenge theme this month is Through the Looking Glass.

As always, we also have the monthly Image Challenge, the monthly Christmas Image Challenge, the monthly Stamp Challenge, an ATC challenge, a Steampunk challenge and a Gothic Challenge on the blog, as well as 4 Facebook challenges. These can be accessed by the tabs at the top of the main blog page.

And, new for this year, we have a quarterly challenge - the current one being make a Junk Journal - which ends on February 26th.

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.

I made a card:

I love this image of an innocent Alice having her attention caught by the white rabbit hurrying by. Notice the little pixies peeping round from the undergrowth behind the characters.

The image is from the Wonderland Collage set and the paper is from the Wonderland ATC set. I popped the image on foam for dimension and added a piece of velvet ribbon along the bottom. I made a paper flower and die cut some leaves for decoration.

I next made a silhouette card:

 

This beautiful silhouette is one of 12 from the Wonders of Wonderland  Kit. It is popped on foam tape on top of paper from the same kit. I used red card for matting and added a red velvet trim and a knot bow, along with a sticker sentiment.

This is my example for one of the Facebook challenges - black and white with a pop of colour.

I also made a couple of digital collages.

I used digital ATC papers from the Looking Glass ATC set for the backgrounds, adding painted edge digital masks from Pixel Scrapper to add interest to the paper edges and floral elements for decoration. The beautiful images above are from the Wonders of Wonderland Craft Kit.  The image below is from the Wonderful Wonderland Collage set

Here are the products I used:

 Finally, here is my Through The Looking Glass Customer Challenge Inspiration project which you can see here in more detail:

That's all for now!

I hope you'll join our Through the Looking Glass 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!

Please pop over to the Gecko Galz blog to see the fabulous designs by the very talented DT.
