here there be pirates.... more gecko galz inspiration

i thought i'd add a last bit of inspiration for the gecko galz challenge blog customer challenge this month -- "man o man." you have another week to play along.

although we tend to romanticize pirates (i love the "pirates of the carribean" movies as much as anyone) the truth is pirates were dangerous people who did some pretty bad things.  thus the theme of this piece.

supplies: pre-cut ATC base; gecko galz "steampunk paper pack;" gecko galz "pirates" collage sheet; distress inks; word typed by me.

instructions: i covered the ATC base with paper from the "steampunk paper pack" and distressed the edges.  there are 2 images from the pirates collage sheet -- the bit with the ship and map, and the pirate himself.  i added those to the base.  i typed and printed the word danger as a final warning! 

how to play along with the customer challenge: link up a creation on our theme at the challenge blog, being sure to use at least one item by gecko galz.  you can obtain freebies from gecko galz at the pinterest site, or if you haven't done it already, go to the log and sign up for the email newsletter and you'll get a free collage sheet each month.  the gecko galz etsy shop also has great deals at great prices -- check out the sale section!

please join us!  love to all.
