I made a digital collage few days ago,

and liked doing it so much I wanted to do another one.

All the elements are from Gecko Galz except the lace, frame 

and the orchids.

Well, here's a card I really did not plan to

make like this when I printed the image. 

But I do like the result anyhow.

Background paper is made with acrylic paints and stencils

and gelli plate, then there is a baby white I have used to 

clean up the paints, wooden sticks, white gesso, silver paint and

some blingy thingy. And black card base.

Blue Christmas, II

I saw the "no stamping" Christmas challenge,

and thought that would be perfect opportunity

to use my sticker stash. And since I had my

stickers "out" I made 2 cards. This is the second one.

I used smaller card base here (12cn*12cm) than

I usually have, some silver paper and lovely

snowy background paper, 

peel off sticker sentiment and snowflakes 

and some white and blue "diamonds".
