Geckogalz featured designer today with Flora and Fauna themes

 Hello my dearest friends from near and far,

Today I am so pleased to announce that I am the featured designer on the Gecko Galz blog . Using this month's  September  theme of  "Flora and Fauna ",  I was inspired me to make these  greeting cards.

To see other creations this month, you can also check out the Gecko Galz blog and meet all our designers, get FREE images everyday .   You can participate with all kinds  of challenges on Facebook too. We also have a Pinterest Page with a Page dedicated to all of my past projects, shown all in one place.

Here are my art pieces all using images from the Autumn Mystics collage sheet by Geckogalz on Etsy that I am sharing with you today: 

"Give Thanks For the Simple Things In Life"

"Be In Love With Your Life"

                                             " Wishing You All Your Wishing For"

To  make these cards I start with  card stock ,could be hand made  gelli prints  or patterned paper. I layer the main female image,  whether fussy cut or square . It is accented with gold scrap, die cuts (wreath), Stickles glue or stickers (ivy, flowers). Embellishments include stamped images, ribbons and fibers , wooden butterfly and additional stickers. The sentiment comes next and they are hand stamped or printed. The final touch is always Stickles glitter glue for sparkle and added texture.

                        Enjoy all that Mother Nature offers you this month.

                                                        Artfully yours,
