gecko galz cross promotion with rhonda's originals...

each month at gecko galz we get products from another company and are asked to create using products form that company and from gecko galz.  this month our cross promotion is with rhonda's originals and we were provided some hallowe'en images to work with.

i made my first ever wall hanging.

my supplies:

corrugated cardboard, dye inks in orange and mahogany, twine, rhonda’s originals CS26 moonbirds part 2 collage sheet, gecko galz haunted ephemera collage sheet, “trick or treat” sentiment from a martha stewart hallowe'en paper pack, zombie brad, glue dots and scor-tape.

here's what i did:

i started by carefully tearing at an old box to reveal the corrugated surface.  i tore my piece to size based on the collage design i had in mind.   i lightly rubbed the inks over the cardboard to get the coloring i wanted (this was bad for the ink pads – next time i’ll use a makeup sponge).  i measured holes and gently punched the cardboard and also measured the twine and gently inserted it into the holes and tied it, leaving some extra twine fringes hanging down on each side.  i had already selected the images i wanted from the two collage sheets and fussy cut them.  using glue dots and scor tape i attached each image to the base.  the “trick or treat” and brad were added last.
