* Gecko Galz: Dapper Gentlemen

 

Hello

June is here and we have a new customer challenge over at the Gecko Galz blog.  
The theme this month is Dapper Gentlemen.

As always, we also have the monthly card challeng.e, 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 new challenge, the quarterly challenge.. This quarter the challenge is to make an altered mason jar.
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 an altered notebook:

 I using a background from Steam Power and a fussy cut gent from Mad About Men. I distressed the edges of the Steam Power clock background and inked with Vintage Photo. The embossed brickwork cover was made with a 3D Sizzix embossing folder and inked with Distress Oxides. I added some kraft die cut leaves, coloured lightly with green oxide ink and highlighted with white Distress Crayon. To finish I added some alpha stickers to spell out 'notes'.

That's all for now!
I hope you'll join our Dapper Gentlemen 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.

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

We also have a friendly Facebook Group where there are 4 monthly challenges, each with a collage sheet prize.
