The minute my daughter saw this image (on another project I made) she said Momma I love that, make me something with this on it! So I made her this journal using the digital stamp from the Vintage Christmas Digital Stamp Collection (25 stamps) by Gecko Galz. I printed the stamped image on glossy photo paper and colored in the berries on the girl with Ranger SGG01-836 Stickles Glitter Glue 0.5 Ounce (Google Affiliate Ad) along with the outline. The background paper is from the Grandma's House Paper collection. I used a Stampin Up punch for the ring holes but ended up gluing some extra pieces in as the holes were not the same. I used my Perfect Square tool to cut the image evenly.
I really love working with these Gecko Galz sets, there is still so much more to show you. Speaking of Gecko Galz, there is a Yahoo group, I would love for you to join the fun there. Plenty of challenges with great prizes, free images every month and all the Galz there are so nice (tell them I sent you)!
I love how this looks but I wonder now if I colored her berries in the wrong color. I noticed after it was all said and done that the leaves on the boy are the sharp pointy leaves of the Holly and I don't know what kind or color plant the girl is made of, if anyone knows please give me a shout out. I do know the faces on the two of them are gorgeous! Thanks to all who have correctly identified the leaves for me as Mistletoe. I already have a gift card holder colored in the same way but I will be sure to do another project with the right colors. I think I was somewhat following my creative instinct but once it was done I realized there is a reason my thumbs are not green, ha ha!
Thanks for looking. ~Diane

ReplyDeleteI might be completely wrong but the leaves on the little girl remind me of mistletoe and the little boy, holly but I could be so wrong with that!

Hi Diane,
ReplyDeleteWOW I just love this journal for your daughter. She is going to really enjoy it. The design is so vintage and has a pretty wintry look. Thank you for sharing your work with us and your amazing talents.
Thank you for the prayers my friend. My cousin is still in shock over her grandson and his wife. Any prayers for her will give great comfort, so I appreciate you more then I can say.
