garden bliss

for the month of april our new customer challenge theme at gecko galz blog is "garden bliss." link up your garden themed creations using gecko galz products for the chance at a prize. more details below.

this is a card i made modeled on a sketch pattern from paper play sketches; their sketch challenge blog is closed but there are lots of sketch inspiration patterns still on the blog site.

supplies: gecko galz butterfly dreams collage sheet; gecko galz journal toppers kit; gecko galz designer paper (can't identify the kit!); washi tape; enamel dots.

instructions: i covered card stock with the designer paper and arranged the images from the butterfly dreams collage sheet interlaced with a strip of washi tape.  all edges were distressed before adhering.  the enamel dots were the final touch.
