Deck the Halls Gecko Galz Tags

Hello Friends,
Today at gecko galz we are continuing our "Deck the Halls" projects. I am showing two ornaments that I will hang on my tree. You could also use them as pretty gift topper too. I started with a snowflake stamped blue tag and layered different cut out snow flakes, the Gecko Gal angel images were on top. Some white Pom poms, sparkly ribbon fiber, Stickles glitter, snowflake garland and the sentiment and I was all set.
Hope you are having a sparkly glittery holiday,
Gerri

December Snow Queen Tags

Today I am the featured artist at Gecko Galz  blog. Our inspiration theme this month is to make other Holiday items instead of just cards. I made two tags  with wide ribbon that could also be used as ornaments  tied to  your tree. To make these I used the Gecko Galz collage sheet Snow Queens and layered them on different painted paper snow flakes and attached them to a bog tag.Water color, white ink and Stickles were the last layers. A wide ribbon was the final touch.
Hope you have a Happy Holiday, Gerri

Today I am featured as a designer at Gecko Galz. I am sharing with you several  cards with the theme of travel using the "Postcards from Abroad" collage sheet from Gecko Galz.

The embellishments come next like flowers, rhinestones, ribbons or German scrap. The sentiment comes last with lots of glitter highlights. Now its time for you to try it!
Artfully yours,
