Gecko Galz Featured Artist Day

Today I am the featured artist at Gecko Galz and I have two creations to share with you, using Gecko Galz Ode to the Muse  and Papillion Dreaming collage sheet. Both are very subtle greeting cards, as you can see. I decided to do something not in my regular bright color style. I thought I needed a calming influence right now. 

"Wish quiet thoughts"

"Cherish Friends"

Both these cards started with a beige solid card blank and background papers were added. The special Gecko Galz images came next. Embellishments like the lilies, tiny tags, stickers came next. The sentiment and watercolor and Stickles glitter touches were the final additions.Please enjoy my creations.Artfully yours,Gerri

Gecko Galz Featured Artist

Today I am the featured artist as Gecko Galz and I have two creations to share with you, both using Gecko Galz Color of Spring and Papillion Dreaming collage sheet. Both are very colorful greeting cards, as you can certainly see.

Welcome Beautiful New Day

Remember this forever

To make these cards I gelli print the backgrounds and then start layering. The images come first, then the lace  or stamped trim. I always paint and add Stickles glitter to my images for additional texture. The sentiments come last and I add a little watercolor paint to them too.

Artfully yours,

Gerri

Designer Spotlight Spin Art for Gecko Galz

Hello Friends,
I adore color and what better way to play then with a child's spin art kit. As the  featured designer at Gecko Galz this month, I used my spin art  (bought at a tag sale) to high light some fun 70's retro Gecko Galz images. These are not my usual style, but enjoyed mixing it up.
Here are several cards that I want to share with you with that spin art. Layering tie dye paper with spin art and Gecko Galz images, I then embellished with rhinestones, shiny stars and finally the sentiments. It was super easy.
Hope you have a groovy week,
Gerri

YES YOU CAN!
