Magic in the Moonlight

Hello friends!

Electra here, hoping

to inspire you a little bit with my digital creations for

this month's 

Gecko Galz Customer Challenge

Moonlight and Magic

I tried to choose some products which

seemed to have the aura of those two things

and I am pretty happy with what I made:

For my first sample I used

the Moonbeams Collage sheet, 

a paper from the In Marble Halls paper pak 

and wordart from the 

In Other Words digital stamp set

Using Photoshop Elements photo-editing software,

I chose a paper for the background.

I cropped the image I wanted from the collage sheet

and placed it over that.

On top is an icon from the Curiosity Shop Craft kit.

I used some items from my stash:

the border, frame, overlay and flourish.

To make this:

Over top of the background paper, place

the cropped image of your choice.

Add your chose border and frame.

Place the wordart over top.

Then add any overlays you like

to give some texture/magical quality,

on both the main image and the wordart.

The flourish goes on top.

TADA!

This second sample uses the following

Gecko Galz products:

another paper from the

In Marble Halls paper pak

the Golden Splendors Collage Sheet

Scripted Collage Sheet wordart

Here is how it was made:

Crop your favorite image from the collage sheet and

place it over the background paper.

Place the wordart on top of that.

That is the basic process:

I added frames, borders and stars and

a lot of glitter styles.

(Everything is better with bling)

Done!

For my last sample I used:

another paper from the

In Marble Halls paper pak

(Can you tell it's one of my favorite paper paks?)

A cropped image from the

Fairy Dust Collage Sheet

and more wordart from the Scripted Collage Sheet Set.

(also one of my faves)

I followed the very same layering process

that I use for all of my digital projects.

1. background paper

2. image

3. wordart

4. frame, borders, the lined and star brushes

5. and a tiny black stroke around the wordart

Easy-Peasy, Lemon Squeezie!

Isn't it pretty?
