Moroccan Gecko

I created this card for Travelingmama's first Traveler's Inspiration Challenge. She's living in Morocco and came up with the idea to start an inspiration challenge based on everyone's travel photos :0) I think it's a fantabulous idea. You can even submit your own travel photos to her and they may be used for future inspiration challenges. You gotta check out her blog, she has some beautiful photos and great videos about what life is like raising a family in a foreign country.

So now, on to the challenge :0) I used the rich vibrant jewel tone colors in the inspiration picture to come up with this razzley dazzley gecko. I tried to make it a little girly (considering they are slippers) by adding some bling to my geckos eyes and the spots on his back. I even used my Sakkura stardust glitter pen to draw around the rhinestones on his back and outline the sentiment on the inside. I used alot of scraps on this card so instead of pulling out another sheet of cardstock I just decided to use my 1/4 sheets I already had laying around and created a swing card. My paper piercing was all freehand - no circle template so it's a little off, but then again it's handmade :0)

Thanks for stopping by - hope your day is filled with colorful fireworks and shimmery sparklers!!
