LOVE MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND....Designs by Donna Mundinger

Today we are focusing on another amazing designer from the Gecko Galz Design team. Donna Mundinger is such a talented lady and she has created some stunning works with this months theme of love and romance!
We hope you enjoy her works as much as we do!


LOVE MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND CARD

Gecko Galz products:
All You Need is Love Digital Stamp Set
Love so Divine Collage Sheet (available exclusively with the monthly kit subscription)

From my Stash:
White, red and black card stock
Digital Printing Program (I use Printmaster Platinum)
foam dots 
Glossy Accents
Starform peel off corners

In my Printmaster Program I chose 3 stamps from the All You Need is Love Stamp set (Love Makes the World Go Around, Kiss Me and the rectangular Love stamp with the filigree on each side) and sized accordingly.  I cropped the Kiss me to use only the lips and recolored it red in my program, then positioned it on the background stamp and copied and pasted the lips image again to fussy cut and pop it. I did the same for the small hearts in the background image.  I then chose 3 images from the collage sheet, resized them to fit around the main image.  I "drew" a rectangle frame around the image in my program.  I printed the design with all 3 stamps in place and the extra lips and hearts and the collage images separate.  I then coated the lips and small hearts with Glossy accents for shine. (Do this before fussy cutting to eliminate the curling of the images.) I cut the collage images and matted them with black card stock, arranged and popped those as well as the hearts and lips on the main image.  I added black peel off corners and finally attached it all to a red card stock base.

And here are some more amazing cards Donna Dreamed up!
