Featured Designer Gecko Galz theme Winter Woods

 Hi y'all,

Today I am so pleased to announce that I am the featured designer on the Gecko Galz blog . Using this month's  January  theme of  "Winter Woods",  I created several ATCs. (Artist Trading Cards)

Todays ATC's

The  ATC Collection

To make these ATCs (Artist Trading cards), I started with standard playing cards and layered textured papers including brown packing paper, hand made white paper and a white and gold paper. The animal figures came next and were fussy cut from the Gecko Galz collage sheet found on Etsy titled Winter woods. Next came tiny stickers of leaves, mushrooms, snow flakes and a butterfly. The positive sentiments were added at the bottom. The final touch for me is always Stickles glitter glue as you can never have too much sparkle.

Artfully yours,

Gerri
