CRAZY GIRL CARD

I saw this idea in an issue of Craft Stamper magazine and thought it would be perfect for this month’s images and papers from the Gecko Galz
Supplies
Image from French Connections stamp set printed onto white card plus additional image on copy paper
Broken China & Worn Lipstck distress inks
“speckled” effect stamp
Papers from Parisian Dreams paper set
Lace scraps
Selection of cut out words to suit the occasion/recipient

How to
Cut around the edge of the copy paper image – you don’t need to be too accurate but go as close as you can. Use this as a mask to protect the image printed on card and then stamp the splatters in pink and blue. Dust on a little extra ink around the edges of the card.

Choose your favourite papers from the paper set and tear into strips. Apply these below the image. Add the lace scraps and the words.

To get to know Lisette we asked her the following questions

BESIDES GECKO GALZ PRODUCTS WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO UES?

I love to work with stamps and am going through a Stampotique phase right now. I also like using Bigz dies and chunky chipboard - perfect for covering with Gecko Galz papers.


CAN YOU TELL US WHAT YOUR STYLE IS?




I don't really have a definitive style I like to try everything and everything from CAS to heavily loaded vintage!
