Gecko Galz: Rustic Christmas

Hello

As you know the Gecko Galz blog carries quite a few image challenges every month.

This month I've decided to play along in the ATC challenge. 

A collage sheet is provided with ATC backgrounds and images and we make an ATC, or several, and decorate as we wish.

You can get the ATC challenge sheet here. un the 29th December, then it will be gone!

Why not collect it and play along?

Here is what I made:

My cardinal ATC has the red bauble background.

I added some sisal fibres below the image and added glossy accents to the baubles. Two gold embossed wooden leaf embellishments were placed at the top of the ATC with a red velvet, knot bow. Some die cut foliage was added to the base of the image and a tiny tag from CoD  was tucked beneath the image.

The snowman and girl are on the snowy, pinecone background.

I added die cut snow banks to the base and mica flakes to represent the cold, icy conditions. Mr Snowman has pearl buttons and a Glossy Accent top hat. White splatters and silver adhesive dots cover the scene.

The plaid trees are on the patchwork background. Again I added die cut snow banks, with mica flakes, to place the trees upon. Pearl baubles decorate the trees and each has a silver star on top. Paint splatters and silver dots along with the title add the finishing touches.

That's all for now!

I hope you'll join our 'Yuletide Dreams' 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 bespoke digital prize. 

Do come and join us!

I'll be back in the New Year, on New Year's Day, with more Gecko Galz projects.
