i was selected to join the design team at gecko galz! hooray! this is very exciting. this is a company i've loved for some time and it is an honor to design for them. one of the cool things they've been doing of late is cross promotions with other companies. so my task for my first cross promotion challenge in july was to merge images from gecko galz with images from this month's sponsor, wild abandon. i made two tags:
on this first tag the tag base started with sheet music stenciled over with a flower stencil by stencil girl. the wild abandon dress form png was digitally merged with some background paper from gecko galz. i printed that and ripped it to add to the base. i added a gecko galz face from the "art deco" collage sheet and a crown from the "hat whimsies" collage sheet. the edges were distressed with "old paper" distress ink and i added some washi tape over the sheet music. i printed the "free your mind" digital image from wild abandon to place n the tag, added a clown from the gecko galz "circus circus" college sheet and finished it with a page dots poly-vinyl hole reinforcement and a black ribbon.
again for the tag base i digitally created the base by adding a wild abandon dress form digital image to some gecko galz honeycomb designer paper. the face is from the "art deco" collage sheet and the bee is from the "in the garden" collage sheet. the sentiment is by wild abandon. i used washi tape on this one as well. and finally also finished it with a page dots poly-vinyl hole reinforcement and a black ribbon.
i LOVED making these pieces! i got a bit carried away and made some more tags combining images form the two companies so stay tuned to see those in the coming days! to see the gorgeous cross promotion pieces created by my DT sisters over at gecko galz click here.
love to all!
this blog is to chart my creative evolution with stamping, paper-crafting, mixed media and some other stuff i haven't figured out yet... on the theory that challenging myself to try new things and post them to the "world" will be good for me. and might also be good for others. my blog title is inspired by julia cameron's "the artist's way" and her admonition to fill the well.
