Gecko Galz ATC Challenge

It's been a while since I joined in the ATC Challenge over at Gecko Galz and with this month's page being Alice in Wonderland inspired, I just could not let it go by without creating.

It's a fab set of three!

I used only the PDF backgrounds and images from the sheet supplied by Kim (go grab it here) with my words being from Michelle Grant Designs - Mini Words by Karen Yates.

I also sponged around the edges with Black Soot distress ink.

You don't need to add a tonne of stuff to have a great looking ATC. 

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Vintage Fantasy

This month I have done another layout in my altered book, as well as 2 ATC size cards.

I used Masquerade Party Girl and Victorian Lovlies by Gecko Galz to hopefully inspire you!

I used a few pages from my Your Creative Studio stash, along with my stash of washi tapes for my backgrounds.

On my journal page I added some modeling paste through a stencil and then Vintage Photo Distress ink watered down so it would blend into my page.

I also used some of my Tim Holtz ephemera. 

My term is up on the Gecko Galz Design Team and I have decided to step down.

I have enjoyed my 2 years as a part of the team and hope I have given you some inspiration along the way.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Creepy Circus

This month I have made some fun tags and another page in my Altered Book using December Dreams, Jeepers Creepers, Vintage Vamps, Into the Woods and Lifes a Circus Collage sheet by Gecko Galz to hopefully inspire you!

I have been enjoying using stencils in my journals of late so this time used a scribble one by Natalie May here in Australia with gold paint. Hard to see but that journal page is quite shiny in real life.

I added one of my cast off resin pieces on my tag too as well. I love the grungy beaten look that using up that last bit of resin gives.

I had a bit of fun with the theme this month. Can't wait to see how you all interpret it yourselves.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Nature's Abundance

This month I have made a set of 3 cards and completed another Journal page in my altered Book.

I used the new Natures Stained Glass Jewel It by Gecko Galz to hopefully inspire you!

I really enjoyed making all these.

There is nothing more satisfying then putting paint in your journal and playing around to see where it leads you. I started off with a totally orange background that was leftover paint.

My sentiments on my cards are from my Cut-apart stash from Uniquely Creative.

Don't forget our fab challenges over on our Facebook Group..

Gecko Galz Steampunk Image Challenge

Have you seen this month's Steampunk Image Challenge over at Gecko Galz yet?

 

I needed a card for my husbands birthday so figured why not make 3!

I used the supplied image along with Oxidation ATC set and Urban Decay ATC set for my backgrounds.

My sentiment  is from a Simply B Stamps Steampunk digital set.

Did I inspire you?  

Don't forget you have until the 29th to get your entry blogged and onto the blog page.

I also used Alter It Collage sheet for the crossword background on this card. 

I also did 2 pages in my Altered Diary using Man O Man Collage set again.

I know how busy we all are, but I hope you get some time to create this month. 

Don't forget we have plenty of challenges going on over at our Blog and also on our Facebook page.

Artsy Word Search

This month I have altered a wooden rectangle that I got from the cheap shop.

I used Alter It and Artsy Domino Digital Collage sheet's by Gecko Galz for my ephemera.

I used a stencil from Bee Arty, light paste with some acrylic inks, along with some flowers and acrylic gemstones from my stash.

I enjoy mixed media and have started to enjoy the journey a lot more lately.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Gecko Galz Customer Challenge Feather Friend

Have you entered this month's Customer Challenge over at Gecko Galz yet?

The theme is Feathered Friend.

I used a Birds & Bees freebie from March 2022 on the blog.

 

I have another Altered Playing Card - this one is another Jumbo playing card.

I added a rub-on onto some material and adhered this on to add some interest with the distress paint.

My saying is an Art by Marleen sticker.

Doodled around some edges with black paint pen and I adore how it turned out.

I also created a quick bookmark.

I used a page from an Alice in Wonderland Novel and the Flamingoes from Flamingo Fun.

I also stitched around the edges and added a tassel.

I hope I have inspired you, and now it's your turn to show me what you can do this month - you have until the 29th to get your entry blogged and onto the blog page. Why not try an image from the Newsletter freebies as well.

It really is worth the try to have some fun and maybe win $25 to spend in the store along your way!

Butterfly Altered Playing Cards

This month I altered 2 playing cards - one Medium size and one Jumbo size for my project to inspire you using the new Butterfly Card Topper Set by Gecko Galz.

Just because they are card toppers, doesn't mean you can use for other projects. I even got the sewing machine out and added some stitching!

I have used glitter washi tape and distress paints with a backing of tissue paper and coffee staining.

I really love these and am going to pop them in my junk journal.

I hope you like them and are inspired to join in on one of our many challenges this month.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!
