Hello! Welcome to my studio.
Here are a couple of cards I made for this month's Gecko Galz Customer Challenge. The other card is in the previous post.
This first card I simply adore. The little girl image from the Garden Time digital collage set is irresistible. A bit of Stickles in silver adorns her hat, gloves and shoes. I paired her with a seed packet image from Pretty Seed Packs, to which I added a few Glossy Accent puddles. I also distressed the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink by Ranger.
The background is from the Kensington Gardens ATC set. I dirtied it up with Frayed Burlap Distress Ink. I used some old CTMH cardstock to create the card base. What I like about their cardstock is the white core. I don't know if they still make it that way, but this is "vintage cardstock," as it is about 18 years old!
The sentiment is from the Charming Words set...lots of perfect words for any mood.
The vines were cut with a die set called, "Trailing Ivy" by Creative Expressions. I added some Distress Oxide Ink and Glossy accent drops to provide some real life texture and color.
I hope you enjoy using these images as much as I do. I am an artist, and illustrate stamps, paint and draw. I also enjoy making cards, junk journals and collage. Gecko Galz is my go to place for all things gorgeous, unusual and vintage. Be sure to visit the Etsy Shop. Every Wednesday there are Dollar deals!
Have fun,
This is a lovely garden card and perfect for those ardent devoted gardeners who want to get started (or at least in my area we are still having frost and snow so no one's gardening yet unless they are starting indoors!) Thanks for participating in the spring colors theme for 1st week of April at HIMCR! Becca~DT
