NeverMore Designs - Monthly Goth Image
https://nevermoredesigns.blogspot.com/p/monthly-gothic-challenge.html
I have used a digital paper, digital image and digital sentiment. I added a bit of colour to the sentiment with a couple of pastel copic markers. I also used some sea-shell die-cuts left over from another project.
I was originally going to add some cogs/gears as embellishments but then decided to used some offcut pieces to die-cut some sea shells instead:

I have used a digital paper, digital image and digital sentiment from Gecko Galz. The shells are all diecut using a die from Marianne Design.
This is accidentally monochromatic - it wasn't until I just looked at it now that I realised that it was.

I have used a digital paper and a digital image from Gecko Galz. I added some white ribbons, red matting and card base plus two Christmassy dog stickers.
I spent a lot of time thinking about what I was going to create with this month's Digital Stamp image from Gecko Galz. I wanted to create something special, then remembered that I had a blank square canvas.

Gecko Galz - Digital Stamp Image Challenge
http://geckogalzscrapbooking.blogspot.com/p/gecko-galz-stamp-challenge.html
I have used a digital paper and the digital stamp image coloured and then fussy cut. Colouring is with copic markers. I added some clear gemstones as "bubble" with the idea that the mermaids are swimming through the water to the surface and churning up the water as the flick their tails.
I searched to see what colour a cockatoo was and found that while most of them are white with yellow plumage there were also black ones and blue ones. The blue ones look really beautiful so I decided that I would colour this cockatoo in blue:

I followed a tutorial for a Diamond Point Card by Maximum Crafts.
This is the card from November 2021 that I have CASE.
I had several images that I wanted to use that were summery - some with dogs and some not. I decided to make an extended accordian fold card (I made two bases (one with a tab piece) and joined them together. As a result, this post is a bit picture heavy!
It uploaded these back to front, so the first four are the close up views:

I followed a tutorial for a scrap card by Karen's Cards & More.
I am a couple of days late with my midway inspiration for the Celebrate Something Special About Your Hero or Someone You Look Up To. Rather than "someone" I look up to, I have encompassed a group of "someones" - Musicians. After failing to learn a musical instrument when I was younger (despite trying for a long time) and also having a voice that no-one in their right mind would want to listen to, I have huge respect for musicians. Even more so for those who can play by ear.
I have used several digital papers (two are from Create with TLC but I am not sure of the source of the smaller pieces) for the background. The images are from Create with TLC, Kenny K Stamps, Sparkle n Sprinkle, Digi Stamps 4 Joy and Nutcrafters. Colouring is with copic markers.

This week at CRAFT Challenge, the theme is recycled. I have a habit of collecting things that may be able to be recycled and then forget about using them. I die-cut the foil and used it behind the image.
This photo shows the top of one, the underside of another, and the third is once it has been run through the Big Shot to flatten it.
