Oh Happy Day 

Dreams Do Come True

I was waiting

Each greeting card was made differently though my general principle is to have a minimum of 5 layers built up on the cards. Starting with paint (gelli prints) or ink on the card stock , Bottom base layer like paper or fabric for the background , Main feature image layer: here it is the Gecko galz women , Embellishments like stickers, doilies, stitching little charms, glitter,  plus  Something other then paper for texture like lace or ribbon and finally, the Sentiment, whether cut out or stamped.

Thanks for visiting and Take care,

Gerri
