Love Card

For this card, I used the following -

Gecko Galz products:  Victorian Garden papers #2,  VS #4, image from Fashionable Hats #1
From my stash: small white heart doily, pink rhinestone, love punch (Teresa Collins), pink cardstock base, chalk inks

Directions:
I began with a cardstock base sized 5.25" x 4". The Victorian Garden paper was cut to fit, edges inked with blue chalk ink and then adhered to the card. The doily was attached to the card. Next, the Victorian icon and the lady were sized in Photoshop, fussy cut and edges inked with brown.  Then I attached the doily and the floral icon with tape and  pop dotted the lady to the card. The word love was punched from pink paper and a pink rhinestone attached to the lady's hat.

Thankyou card

Supplies used -
Gecko Galz:  Victorian Garden papers (#1), Icon VS24,  Icon VS16
From my stash: Pink doily, green card base, word sticker (Jillibean Soup), Nesting Scallop die (Lifestyle Crafts), brown chalk ink

Directions:
I began with a card base 5.75" x 6". The Victorian Garden paper was cut slightly smaller, edges inked with brown chalk ink and then adhered to the green card base.  I sized the flower icon in Photoshop and cut it  out with the scallop die, leaving a white border. The flower  was then layered onto a pink doily. The girl image (VS16) was sized in Photoshop, fussy cut and edges inked. Then she was pop dotted to the card. The word sticker had a red border, so I cut that off, leaving only the words. The edges were inked with brown.
