Free Your Beautiful Mind

Today my Gecko Galz projects for the month are being featured on the Gecko Galz Blog.  I've already blogged the others, but if you've missed anything, please go take a look.  My final piece is a wall hanging.  All quotes are from the Gecko Galz Beautiful Words Collage set.  First I re-sized the beautiful minds quote to fit the resin light bulb from Prima, matted it in green and layered on the DP I'd cut to approx 7x9" and matted that in black.

I added dimensional embellies that matched those on the image.  The light bulb is from Prima as are the flowers.  The lifelike acetate butterfly (that I've had in my stash for eons) is from Nature's Illusions. The Tim Holtz keyhole was added with brads.

I've added a small quote to  the left side of the main image, also from the Beautiful Words set and glued on a metal key from K&Co.

I printed the Happiness Quote twice (in different sizes) and used the larger words only for the bottom portion of the hanging which was matted twice and hung with jump rings.  Then I fussy cut the large butterfly from the quote and the other from the smaller version I printed, bent their wings up and attached them in the center only.  I'm hoping this will the spur my creative mojo when I'm feeling down.
