more gecko galz february inspiration

i've got another card with brand new images from the gecko galz shop to share today.  this may be my favorite one i made with the gecko products this month.

supplies: gecko galz “royal beauties 2” collage sheet; gecko galz “all you need is love” digital stamp set; gecko galz “love potion #9” paper pack; my artistic adventures vintage valentine sweethearts bitty collection paper pack by heather hudson; pink paislee “queen” stamp; felt lace border; washi tape; distress inks

instructions: card stock was covered with one of the papers from the vintage valentine sweethearts bitty collection and distressed with ink.  the “love me” digital stamp was printed on one of the papers from the gecko galz love potion #9 paper pack.  i cut out the digital stamp and the image from the royal beauties collage sheet.  i stamped the queen stamp on another paper from the vintage valentine sweethearts bitty collection paper pack.  i arranged everything to my satisfaction and then glued it all down and finished with the border and washi tape.

don;t forget to play along with the gecko galz "vintage ladies" customer challenge!

love to all.

last 2 queens of the royal court

welcome to the final installment of my queen tag obsession.  in completing this "series" i think i managed to used all my face stamps that would fit on a tag, so here are the last two:

this lady's face stamp is from paper inspirations, crown from pink paislee.  this is actually the last one i made so perhaps i was running out of steam -- it is only the designer papers and a velveteen flower.  i also think this was the very first face stamp i ever acquired.  or maybe the next one was my first?  so finally,

face stamp by judikins.  designer papers, tissue tape, flowers, love. (i always add love). goodbye royal subjects!

love to all.

gentle queen

continuing with my queen tag obsession...
this lovely queen is from rubber stampede and as with all the other members of the royal court the crown is by pink paislee.

this is another favorite face stamp.  i also really like the different effects from stamping on patterned paper.  i kept this one simple with designer paper covered tag base, some washi tapes behind the face and a flower.

the moon queen

the other day i mentioned that i had more queen tags to share so here is one today, one i am rather fond of.

oh how i love this dreamy face stamp by inkadinkado.  the crown and "queen" are from pink paislee.  in addition i've got designer paper and then some bits from lunagirl with two pieces from the carte postale collage sheet and one (the woman on butterfly) from the fly away home collage sheet.  i have included a velveteen flower with a pearl as well.

i've had a desire to combine stamping and collage sheet images effectively together and i feel i am getting the hang of it.

i'm linking this to the "anything goes" stamping challenge at cards by lady anne; and to the "make it pretty" challenge at divas by design challenge blog.

i hope you enjoy and come back tomorrow for another queen tag!
love to all.

kings and queens

the current prompt at tag tuesday is kings and queens.

i made two companion tags for this theme. the female face is by 100 proof press.  the male face is by river city rubber works.  the crown and the bee are from pink paislee.  the stamp behind the man's face is the french script stamp by stampin up.   behind the woman's face is a bit of postcard from the carte postale collage sheet at lunagirl and the butterfly comes from lunagirl's fly away home collage sheet.  the matching background designer paper on both tags is from alpha stamps.  the letters are brown velveteen letters, i forget where they came from.

i got carried away with stamping faces and putting a crown on them so stay tuned as i will be posting more queens (as i only have the one male stamp but i have gobs of female face stamps!) later and throughout this week.

also, there are wings on both tags here which reminds me to remind you of the "angel wings" challenge at the cheerful stamp pad.  just create somethings with wings and link up by next sunday.

love to all.
