A lovely friend of mine gave me two adorable Mexican ceramic garden geckos. They are very brightly colored as is most all of Mexico's art work. So instead of sending her a pretty flower card I chose to thank her with this colorful gecko card!
My geckos are digital images colored with markers and then covered with diamond glaze. Cut out and mounted on a color block bg for today's WT it challenge. Decorated the envelope and VOILA!

Great way to use your ceramic garden Geckos. Lots of bold and fun colors in this card.

That was so thoughtful of you, Phyllis! Your friend will appreciate these geckos and the colors! I've been to Mexico a few times and you can't miss the bright colors~

Love your take on the challenge today. When going into a Mexican restaurant I always admire their colorful art. This card reminds me of their art style. Beautiful. You always go that extra mile with your envies. Thanks for bringing an ethnic card to the gallery.

This is so fun and vibrant and perfect for your friend! Love the way you did those geckos and glazed them. I have difficulty with bright colors but truly enjoy seeing bold, vivid cards like this! Love your card!

A lovely thank you card, Phyllis! The blocked background makes a great setting for those wonderful geckos. I bet they look even better in real life with the glaze.
