Featured Designer Day The Witching Hour

 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  October theme "The Witching Hour" ",  I was inspired me to make these  greeting card layouts.

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

Here are my art pieces all using images from the Witches Way  collage sheet by Gecko Galz on Etsy that I am sharing with you today: 

Happy Haunting

Where my Witches At?

Happy Halloween

Gather For A Spell

To make these card layouts I start by choosing an image which gives me the inspiration for the colors and layout. These witches are all from the The Witches Way from Gecko Galz on Etsy. Then I choose the background paper whether hand stamped/printed or patterned. I build out from the main witch image with stickers, natural papers, or fibers to give dimension. The borders came next can be stamped, German scrap or die cut. The final touches are always glitter Stickles and the Sentiments

Artfully yours,

Gerri

To make this Mystifying Magic tin I started with the Ouija mint tin and added a black fold out accordion insert. The images are from the Gecko Galz collage sheet titled  The Witches Way and Gothic In Nature both on Etsy . Little embellishments include glitter bats, spider web confetti ,stickers, hand stamping, painted accents and then the sentiments were added to each layout.
