Just For You

It is a nice sunny day here again today.  I think we have had better weather in Autumn that we had in summer.   We still have had some wet days but not as many as we seemed to get over the Summer months.  Today I completed a Spring card.

I have used a digital paper from Lozzy.  The image is from Sheepski Designs and the sentiment is typed on the computer.  Coloring is with copic markers and inking with Distress Oxide.

Thanks

Since we are in Autumn here, I was inspired to create an Autumn themed Thanks card.

Carlin's Map Paradise - Sketch and Theme
https://carlinskaartenparadijs.blogspot.com/2023/03/challenge-56-maart.html

These were the sketches and themes that were given to choose from



 I chose Sketch 1 and Theme 3.

I used digital papers that were in my offcuts box.  I think all three of them are from Décosse's Dynamite Doodles.  The image and sentiment are both from Beccy's Place.  Coloring is with copic markers.  I also die-cut some leaves using a Memory Box die.

Happy Birthday

I love this yummy looking image.  Sadly, for me, it is several months before strawberries are back in season.

Passion For Markers - Birthday Cards
https://promarkerchallenge.blogspot.com/2023/03/week-682birthday-cards.html

I have used a digital paper, image and sentiment from Beccy's Place.  I cut the sentiment in two to fit around the image and was pleasantly surprised how well it actually fitted as I had added the image to the base first.  Coloring is with copic markers and a touch of Kindy Glitz on the flower centers. I also added a plaid ribbon and some dots of Kindy Glitz.

Butterfly Tent Fold Card

Once again I managed to use all the prompts for The Butterfly Challenge.   I found a paper that had two of the colors and close to one of the others.  I added some of the fourth color with the twine and pearls.

The Butterfly Challenge - T is for..
https://butterflyspotchallenge.blogspot.com/2023/03/179-spin-butterfly-wheel-with-t-for.html

I have used a digital paper from PixelScrapper.  The butterfly is a large-ish felt butterfly.  I bought a pack of these a few years ago and haven't used that many of them.  The color was perfect for this card.  I blinged up the butterfly with a strip of pearls plus added two larger ones to the top of the card.

Love Birds

I decided to create this one without a sentiment as I couldn't find one I liked.

I have used a digital paper from PixelScrapper.  The image is from Sheepski Designs and is called Love Birds.  Coloring is with copic markers.  I also added some Glossy Accents to the heart in the image.  I finished with some heart stickers.

Breathe

This is my final post for the Gecko Galz Challenges for March.   First time this year that I have managed to complete all of them so I must be a little less swamped this month.

Home For The Holidays

I usually work on my Christmas tags closer to Christmas but seeing a Tag Themed challenge, I decided to create some now.
