I have used an image from an ATC sheet from Gecko Galz for the background. The steampunk cat image is also from Gecko Galz and can be found with the September Challenge at Fripperies & Butterflies (which closes tomorrow). I also added some ephemera items that fitted with the image and background.
I have a few posts to blog today. Hopefully I will get them all done. I have to catch an early bus tomorrow for an appointment so I won't have time in the morning.

Cheerful Sketches - Sketch
http://cheerfulsketcheschallenge.blogspot.com/2021/09/september-challenge.html
I used an embossing folder on the cardstock background. The layer pieces of patterned paper are all from my Awaiting Crafting box so I'm uncertain of the sources. The image is from Fred She Said and the sentiment is typed on the computer. Colouring is with copic markers.
I followed the sketch at Cheerful Sketches:

When I first read through the instructions for this card, they sounded really complicated. I wasn't sure that I would have the patience to create the card. I decided to give it a go anyway and found it wasn't anywhere near as hard as I had anticipated.

A Bit More Time To Craft Extra - September Challenge
https://abitmoretimetocraftextra.blogspot.com/2021/09/abmttc-extra-september-challenge.html
I have used all elements for the challenge although I don't have much of the sea green. I had to change my original plan as the background paper looked more Steel Gray than Steel Blue!
The background papers are from Lozzy. I added two flower stickers to the front of the card. I added a large Steel Blue butterfly to the slide mechanism.
I followed the first tutorial for a Slide and Lock Card.
I like this pair of gnomes who are out picking spring flowers. We are starting to see our spring flowers coming out in abundance. I had some come out yesterday that I hadn't realised were even close to flowering. The temperature is still a bit hit and miss but that can happen a bit in Spring.
