Sea of Dreams Pocket Letter

 The current monthly challenge at Gecko Galz is Sea of Dreams...

They have so many cool mermaid images that I couldn't decide so I made a pocket letter using some of my favorite images...

Hope you enjoy!

More Collage Image Fun

A few more challenges... 

My first project is a Memory Dex card I made using the Gothic image for July. I love this sentiment... In a world full of princesses, be a witch.  And a fun raven wax seal. 

I LOVE this image for the Card challenge. She has got such a cool vibe going on. I think I may have to use her for some other projects but since this is the card challenge I made a card. I decided to cut her off the background (which is also very cool) and make a collaged background for her using lots of bits and pieces.

My final card is full of glitz for the Christmas image. 

I thought this image was so fun and retro I ran with it. 

Lots of glitter and gemstones in 50's colors really makes the image pop don't you think?

Gecko Galz Challenge Fun

 

Finally getting around to posting some of the challenge projects I have made for the Gecko Galz monthly challenges this month.

My first card is filled with lots of painty - glittery goodness!  This is the Fantasy challenge image for July. I used a gel press background I made using some fun stencils and pretty paints to match the image.  I then framed it with a couple glittery mats...you know everything is better with a bit of bling.

My next creation is a under the sea tag I made using the Steampunk image. A steampunk mermaid!! I used some steampunk gear paper to cover the tag as well as a fun wax seal of an octopus underwater scene. 

Hope you enjoy...

Angels Sing!

Here is the Christmas Challenge image for June from Gecko Galz. 

The little dots you see (and many you can't see) are glitter. 

It's so hard to capture the sparklie goodness.

 

Beautiful in Yellow

This is the Card Challenge image of June for Gecko Galz.

Now normally I stay away from yellow because to me it's a scary color - LOL!! 

But I conquered my fear and went with it.

I have some language flash cards...this one is Russian for Beautiful. 

 

Deadly Beauty

Hello Friends...

This month's Gothic Challenge images at Gecko Galz

I love her stark beauty!

 

Steampunk Opportunity

 Hello Friends...

Hope you are surviving the heat - the "Real Feel" temps here have been over 100 here today and it is expected to continue for at least 7 more days before we "cool off" into the upper 80s - LOL!!

Today I have a fun Steampunk card using the current challenge image at Gecko Galz....

I think the sentiment fits her perfectly ;)

Mermaid Embroidery Hoop Plaque

 A new creation for the Gecko Galz Fantasy Challenge. Each month Gecko Galz shares an image to be used for the current month's challenge. This is the Fantasy Challenge image and what I made with it...

I printed the image on regular copy paper then I applied baby oil over the entire image. I let it dry for 3 days. This process creates a translucent image. I used an old embroidery hoop for the frame, added lots of die-cuts and some real shells to finish it off. 

This is what it looks like in the window...it really does look like she is under the sea! So pleased with how it turned out.

Signs of Summer Flamingo Welcome Sign

Hello Everyone

 New month of challenges over at Gecko Galz. Today I have a project that fits into both the monthly challenge (Signs of Summer) and their quarterly challenge (Altered Wall Plaques). 

I used images from the Flamingo Court Junk Journal kit plus lots of diecuts and the fun plaque that had a funky photo decoupaged on it. A couple coats of paint and a whole new plaque appears!
