Hearts Galore

Hi Friends,
I believe hearts are not only for Valentine's day but are a year round motif. Here are two different uses of hearts on my handmade cards. I used stencils, stamps and even a heart punch.
Hope your week is filled with love,

Colorful June 2018 Gecko Galz Design Team Feature

Hello Friemds near and far,
Today is my feature design team highlight at Gecko Galz. These two cards are quite bright when compared to my usual palette. I enjoyed stepping out of the box this month.
The first called "Flirt" used the Summer Sweetie Gecko Galz Collage sheet and the second is "Be yourself" which used the Aloha Gecko Galz Sheet. Both started with gelli printing a card base then layering the Gecko Galz fabulous image, adding a floral accent, some trim and the sentiment. The final touch in all my projects is some glittery Stickles accents!
Hope you are having a colorful week.
Artfully yours,
Gerri
