Hello

It's a new month and we have a new customer challenge over at the Gecko Galz blog.  

The theme this month is Wish Upon a Star.

As always, we have free images to download to make projects to enter the Card Challengethe Christmas Image Challenge, the Fantasy Challenge, an ATC challenge, a Steampunk Challenge and a Gothic Challenge,. The free images can be accessed by the tabs at the top of the main blog pageWe also have a quarterly challenge on the blog.

If that isn't enough challenges, we also have Facebook challenges each month.
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 collage sheet.

Here is what I made as inspiration for the Customer Challenge..


I used an image from the fabulous 'Wish Upon a Star' collage set. I matted it onto gold card and onto some co-ordinated patterned paper. I heat embossed in gold some of the outlines on the paper and matted onto gold card again. A gold band was added along with a sentiment and some gens.

Again I used an image from 'Wish Upon a Star'


The edges of the image were heat embossed in gold. I added irridescent glitter glue to the girl. The background paper is from the Wonderful Watercolour ATC Collection and I stamped and heat embossed in gold. The card was backed onto holographic paper and some die cut florals were added to the image.

Here is a card made with another image from the 'Wish Upon a Star collage set. One of the Wonderful Watercolour ATC Collection was used for the background, It was stamped and heat embossed in gold.

 And finally a digital piece:


I used a Wish Upon a Star and a  Wonderful Watercolour ATC background,
