Birthday Greetings with Gecko Galz

Hello! And welcome to another Gecko Galz creation.
The April customer challenge at the Gecko Galz blog is Spring's Muse
I really enjoy using GG designs. I use them in collages, cards, and other crafts.

This particular image seemed to fit the background so perfectly, and when I found the ribbon and lace in my stash, well...I was so happy with this card!

Here is what I used from Gecko Galz to create this card...
I used one of the background papers for the base.
The image was inked on the edges and glitter was added to some edges.

I often feel something is needed at the bottom, so I added a piece of tea dyed ribbon. The beautiful deep golden green ribbon was also from my stash. I love it when I find JUST the perfect piece!
I am adding this card to the following challenges:

Spring Landscape with Artsystamper Digitals

Hi! It's Beverly, aka Artsystamper.
It's time for the customer challenge at the Artsystamper Digitals Challenge Blog
The theme is 
Springtime
The talented design team has created some creative inspiration projects, so be sure to check them out.
Here is what I have created...
This card is created with several digital sets, and is totally digital. As a digital card, you can save your layout in your program, simply print out as many as you need. Or, save it as a document where you can just change out parts...so easy! Use the color images or black and white to color as you like.

I used 3 of my digi sets to create this card. 
First,  I chose the scenery from the Outdoorsman stamp set. 

Next, I added a background from my Wintry Paper Pack. I use this paper pack for a lot of skies. It was sized to 3.75 x 5 inches. I then sized the scenery to the same size, and layered it over the lavender sky. I chose lavender to match the lavender hill in the background of the scenery.

I added silhouettes of field flowers from the Field Flower Silhouette Set. In Open Office I flipped the image to create variety. I also added some smaller flowers by layering the same image. Great to be able to resize digital stamps!
I then added the sentiment parts, using different sizes.
Once I decided on the black and yellow card stock, I decided to make the card more feminine, so I added a piece of black lace to the bottom of the black layer.
Done!

Spring's Muse with Gecko Galz



Hello! Welcome to my Studio. 
I'd like to share a card that I created recently for the Gecko Galz Monthly Customer Challenge. 
This card used several images from Gecko Galz. As a Design Team member, I created this as a celebration of Spring.
The beautiful lady is from the Dreams of Spring Digital Collage Set.
There are several layers to this card. When you have this many amazing digital choices, it's easy to use many of them! 
Let's start with the picture frame. It's from the Been Framed Craft Kit
The little ballerina image in the top right corner is from the Texture Jewels Collage Sheet.
The background sheet with the dogwood blossoms is from the French Botanicals Collage Sheet.
The "Enchantment" sentiment is from the Charming Words Collage Set.
And finally, the striped background is from the Seaside Splendor Craft Kit.

The little pieces of torn "wallpaper" and the ribbon, tea-dyed lace and lovely ribbon are from my stash. Edges of pieces were inked with Distress Oxide Ink in Frayed Burlap.
