Gecko Galz Vintage Ladies Challenge

This is a very busy Sunday for me.  Click HERE for the new East Wind Challenge project, and HERE for the new Lacy Sunshine Challenge.

Our new Gecko Galz monthly Customer challenge also begins today with the theme of Vintage Ladies.

I've made a tag using papers and icons from the new February Club Kit Papers and Icons (also available by Subscription at a huge discount with an extra collage sheet each month) and the Pretty Victorians Collage Sheet.

Here's a closeup view of the lovely images.

And a view of the decoupage and dimensional effect.

Supplies

Gecko Galz :  February Coquette Club Kit Papers and Icons, Pretty Victorians Collage sheet

Other: Card Stock-Mocha and pink,  Dies-Spellbinders Grand labels Four, Heartfelt Creations (filigree shapes)

Embellishments-White marabou trim, Prima mini roses and Say it with Pearls Flourish, 7gypsies velvet leaves, Beige crinkle seam binding,  Tape, glue, Fun Foam (tan) and 4" wide 3M Transfer tape (to make colored foam for adding dimension), Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink

Instructions

Use Spellbinders Label Four (3rd from the smallest die) to cut label base from mocha card stock. Leave paper in die and ink lightly inside the die with Brushed Corduroy Distress ink. Print Paper from Feb Club Kit Coquette Papers ( COU5) and use next smaller Labels Four die to cut mat.  Ink this layer the same way.  Tape or glue to base.  Cut filigree shapes from pink and glue to top and bottom of tag.

Re size and print fan from Coquette Icons, fussy cut, ink edges with Brushed Corduroy and glue or tape marabou trim on back.  Use printing program to move the word "lovely" onto the bow (both from Coquette Icons) size, print, fussy cut and ink. Print lady from the Pretty Victorians 1 Collage sheet (top right) 3 times.  Fussy cut image as shown, ink and decoupage using foam for dimension. TIP:  I make my own colored dimensional foam using sheets of craft foam (Fun Foam) and 4" wide (3M)  transfer tape to adhere to both sides.  It can then be cut or punched to any size and virtually disappears when your project is viewed from the side.  Avoid buying foam that is already adhesive on one side.  Whatever they use loses it's stick very quickly.

Use tape and foam to adhere fan and lady to tag.  Attach seam binding to back of bow and use foam (at center point only) to pop, then attach small rose.  Cut apart pearl swirl and add to tag base.  Attach velvet leaves to top of tag with roses beneath.  Loop seam binding through top of filigree element.

I hope you're inspired to visit the Gecko Galz Challenge Blog and see the gorgeous inspiration from the rest of my teamies and come play along.
