The month of Courtly Love

Today is my turn to be featured on the Gecko Galz Blog
for this month's theme of

Courtly Love.

Isn't that a lovely theme to

start the new year with?

I made three digital projects using the new

Vintage Flirtations Collage Sheet Set.

#1

 #2

#3

(I use Photoshop Elements 13)

For all three, I cropped the individual

image that I wanted and applied a photo mask.

(I used Amanda Sok masks)

Then I placed the image over one of the

Gecko Galz Paper Paks.

(The first two used papers from the

Courtly Love Paper Pak, the second has

a background paper from the

St. Peter's Square Paper Pak

Then I overlaid a frame/border:

First sample: 

frame from

Gecko Galz Fab Frames College Sheet Set

Finecrafted Designs border over that 

Second Sample:

frame from

Gecko Galz Fab Frames College Sheet Set

overlay by Vinnie Pearce over that

Third Sample:

Border lace overlay by Brandy Murray

To finish them off:

1. Wordart by Gecko Galz

All You Need Is Love digital Stamp Set

set to Multiply blend

2. Just the word, 

"Mesmerized"

in a porcelain regular font

and a flourish brush by Amanda Sok.

3. Wordart by Gecko Galz

from the "In Other Words" 

digital stamp set

and a flourish brush by Amanda Sok.

And that's it!

Hello!

I haven't participated in any challenges

for months now nor have I created anything

except for my beloved Gecko Galz Design Team.

And how I have

 missed you all!

Tonight I made something for this week's

Courtly Love

Happy New Year Peeps!

Are you ready for a new challenge?

Courtly Love

You're going to play along with us, right?

The only rule is that you must use at least one Gecko Galz product!

And you can find all sorts of them

HERE

This is what I made for you to help you get started:

I used the Crazy Animals collage sheet

The winner will receive a $25 Gecko Galz Shopping Spree !

This was so easy to make.

I cropped the image I wanted out 

of the Crazy Animals Collage Sheet

Then I placed it over that pretty paper
from the Love Potion #9 Paper Pak

and erased the background.

I framed the picture of

the Lovebirds with a glitter

overlay by Finecrafted Designs.

I put that concoction over

a pink background paper I had in my

digital stash.

On a new layer I made some frilly white

stamps with a brush and I

applied a bevel style to them

for some texture.

To finish it off I added a heart by Pink Lotty, 

a frame from my stash,

and the word "Love" in white,

using the text tool.

DONE!

Be sure to check out the samples

from the rest of the design team on the

Gecko Galz Scrapbooking blog

See you over there for

Courtly Love

the first Customer challenge of

2018!
