Each month the Gecko Galz blog hosts several challenges - they give a specific image for each challenge and you are asked to create something using this image. I LOVE these challenges and have been playing for years. It is always so much fun to see what the new images are each month and try to figure out something new and different to do with them. These are my creations for this month's images...
First up is this darling little girl & her pet dragon. This is for the Steampunk Challenge. I liked the image so much I decided to turn it into some ornaments. I have a fun metal Christmas tree that I'm going to decorate with a steampunk theme this year so I am going to be making my ornaments through the year. I think these are a pretty good start!
Next up is the ATC challenge. The collage sheet is called Steampunk Couture - LOVE this!! In addition to the background and ladies I added a few "digi stamps" from the Curiosity Shop and Industrial stamp sets plus a fwe gears and stickers from my stash.
This image was so cool...an underwater nymph for the Gecko Galz business page Tag Challenge. I thought it would be fun to turn her into a tag shaker.
Oh my, another image to love. This is for the Gothic challenge - isn't she cool looking...I haven't added a sentiment yet because she would be great for so many things. Anyway, I added her to one of the background papers from the Life's a Circus Craft Kit. I also added some sparklie garland and gemstone brads.
Next up is the Christmas challenge and this sweet pair of children. I had this fun kraft christmas print paper in my stash that has a great vintage vibe. Added some ribbon and gemstones to finish it off.
I am so excited about these next 2 cards. I LOVED the images and really wanted to do them justice. I hope you like what you see...
First up is this lovely lady in purple. I normally don't use purple but I wanted to go all out so I used foiled paper from Rinea (sorry they are no longer in business). I used Anna Griffin dies to make the amazing layers of frames. I finished it off with a bit of lace and paper flowers.
My final blog challenge card is made using the castle for the Fantasy Challenge. I again used Rinea foiled papers, Anna Griffin dies and an assortment of leaves and gemstones. I also added the Queen down in the corner - she is from the Autumn Queens collage sheet and she matches perfectly don't you think? I gave her a little medallion die-cut tucked in behind her for an extra bit of pop.
Well there you go...
Hope you are inspired to give some of these images a go!
Lovely work

DeleteYour creations for this month's Gecko Galz challenges are truly inspiring. The steampunk ornaments are such a creative idea, and I love how you're blending themes into your decorations throughout the year. Each piece reflects so much thought and skill, especially the intricate details and unique materials like the foiled papers. It's exciting to see how you've reimagined each challenge image into something completely original and captivating.
