Open Book
I made the Open Book for the Gecko Galz 'Myths and Legends August 2022 Challenge' on the Gecko Galz Blog.
I have a set of open book page metal dies in different sizes. To start I cut out the back of the book using gold coloured card using the largest metal die, then I cut the second size page using pretty patterned paper in peach and then again using the smaller die in white card and over that the printed page from the 'Gecko Galz Starlight ATC' collection that I resized and printed it out to fit the project.
For the edges of each page I added gold colour corner peel-offs to give a more finished look.
I curled the pages to make them look like pages of a book and cut each one down the centre and adhered them down by layering one on top of the other this stops the pages being too bulky. I used raised foam pads behind the pages to keep the curled page look.
The image of the lady is from the 'Gecko Galz Mystic Fantasy set'.
I resized the image and printed it out. I cut a frame out of the gold card for the image and different size stars in white and gold card. For the sentiment on the right of the book I used the same gold card, patterned paper and white cardstock and layered them and stamped the word Dream in the centre.
The smaller stars are also layered. I adhered the framed image on the left side of the book and the large star on the right side using foam pads. I then adhered the stars on all four corners of the frame. I added gems to the small stars the large layered star For the centre of the book I adhered a ribbon and added large gems to the top and bottom of the ribbon. The stand is also made using a metal cutting die and gold card.
