Gecko Galz: Gentlemanly

 

Hello 

The theme this month at the Gecko Galz blog is Dapper Gentlemen.

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 new challenge, the quarterly challenge.. This quarter has just started and the challenge is to create 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 a set of square cards:

I used Dapper Dan ATCs for the background - resizing them to fit these 5 x 5 inch card bases. Great Journeys collage sheet provided my image backgrounds and the fussy cut gents are from Mad about Men and Sharp Dressed Man. The image is on foam tape for some dimension and the embellishment takes the form of fabric circle trim.

And a set of A6 cards:

These simple cards let the papers and images do the talking.

I used Wanderlust ATCs and Oxidation ATCs for the backgrounds - again resizing them to fit the card bases. The images are masculine in nature and are from the 'Steam Power' collage sheet.. The only embellishment I added was some gold mesh trim under diagonally opposite corners.

I also made an altered notebook which I posted about here.

 I used a background from Steam Power and a fussy cut gent from Mad About Men. 

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. 

Do come and join us!

I'll be back on the 1st July with more Gecko Galz projects.
