Gecko Galz Featured Paper Designer Day

 Hello everybody,

Today I am the featured designer on the Gecko Galz blog . Using this month's theme of "Christmas Magic"  I was inspired me to make these Detailed  layered greeting cards and tags using the images from Christmas Darlings  collage sheet by Gecko Galz on Etsy. 

To see other creations this month, you can also check out the Gecko Galz blog and meet all our designers, get FREE collage sheets everyday  and participate with all kinds  of challenges on Facebook too. Here are my art pieces, that I am sharing with you today:






To make these cards I started with a gelli printed background of snowflakes and layered on the adorable little girl images from the Gecko Galz Christmas Darlings sheet on Etsy. The die cut paper snowflakes both white and blue or silver  came next. Some fun tiny trim and the rhinestones round and snowflake shaped added some shine was the next step. The hand stamped sentiment "Merry Christmas" was the finishing piece. Oh, lets not forget the Stickles silver glitter glue for a nice sparkle.

Hope you have a darling week,
Artfully yours, Gerri

Geckogalz Featured Designer Today Seeking Magic

 Hello dearest Art friends and family ,

Today I am the featured designer on the Gecko Galz blog . Using this month's theme of "Stay Wild Moon Child ",  I was inspired me to make these Detailed  layered greeting cards and also a decorated cigar box.. Please  come check out the Gecko Galz blog and meet all our designers, get free collage sheets and participate with all kinds  of challenges on Facebook too. Here are my art pieces:

SEEK MAGIC EVERYDAY


I LOVE YOU MORE 



YOU ARE MAGICAL


To make the cards I started with blank cardstock and layered papers, netting and topped them with the pretty  Female and moon  image from Geckogalz " Stay Wild Moon Child" collage sheet found in their  ETSY shop. Next came stickers and borders to frame the card. The sentiments came next and were hand stamped. The final touch was Stickles glitter of course!

I approached the wood cigar book the same way. I Stenciled a lace paper on it. Layered gold paper lace then  topped it with the Moon child image. The die cut flowers  and gold glitter stars came next. The sentiment was hand stamped. The final touch was glitter for the flower centers and gold Stickle accent on the box, flowers and the pretty Moonchild image.

Artfully yours,
Gerri

To create  this tag I gelli printed a green background and then added the gold glitter moon and clear gold sticker. The moon child image came next from Gecko Galz collage sheet Stay Wild Moon Child on Geckogalz Etsy shop . The separate oval tag was from a piece of clothing, so I recycled it by painting it and stamping the sentiment " There is magic in the stars" the black gem was part of the tag. The final touches were ribbon to hang it and gold Stickles glitter accents.
Artfully yours Gerri
