Mandala

 I am cutting it fine with a few monthly challenge cards this week.  I am glad that I managed to finish this one but still have another card that might not get completed (plus the ones that have already closed that didn't get completed).

The Outlawz Progressive Freebie Challenge - September Image
https://theoutlawzchallenges-freebie.blogspot.com/2024/08/september-2024-progressive-freebie.html

I decided that the image for September would really well for a Gatefold Card.  I coloured the image using Promarkers as they have some nice bright colours and also finer nibs for getting into the smaller parts of this image.  I added gems to the corners of the front and some striped paper on the inside of the card.

Gecko Galz September

 I'm not sure if I will complete all my projects for the September Gecko Galz Challenges.  To save some time, I'm going to put all the ones that I have completed so far into one post.

All digital paper, images and sentiments are from Gecko Galz.

Merry Pigmas

 I am a bit late with this post for the midway of the September Challenge at 12 Months of Christmas Cards.  The optional twist is Merry Pigmas.

 

I have used a digital paper from Décosse's Dynamite Doodles. The image is by From The Heart Stamps and the sentiment was typed on the computer.  Colouring is with copic markers. 

I followed a printed tutorial from the Card Maker Success Summit.

Clean and Simple

 The September Challenge at Incy Wincy Designs is ATC and/or CAS.  I decided on a Clean and Simple card.

 

I have used an embossing folder for the background.  The source of the image is unknown but if I locate it (or anybody recognises it), I will amend the post. I had it in my printed images container but suspect it may have been a digital download from a magazine but I might be mistaken.

The image is coloured with copic markers.
