Best Wishes

 I think this will be my last post for July (unless I have forgotten something).

Each month, the challenge at Beccy's Place includes an optional element.  This month, it was an inspiration picture.  I picked out two of the colours to use with my image - green grass and trees as well as the sandstone colour of the building (which I used in the fairy wings)

Beccy's Place - July Challenge
https://beccysplace.blogspot.com/2024/07/july-challenge.html

I have used a digital paper, image and sentiment from Beccy's Place.  I had intended on using another strip of paper on the panel behind the fairy but my printer decided to malfunction by that point.  Initially it kept telling me there was a paper jam (even though there wasn't).  After turning off the printer for several days, I turned it on and it had forgotten about the paper jam but now won't print in colour.  I get the feeling that it is asking to be replaced.  

I followed a tutorial for a Corner Fold Card by Iced Images.

Nobility

 I had a bit of a messy month.  Being away for a week and a half has thrown me out of routine.  I just looked at the date and realised that I hadn't entered any of my Gecko Galz projects.  There is still 20 hours left to run but if I leave them until the morning, it will be more stress on me so I'm going to try and get them all uploaded this evening.

I'm starting with my favourite project.

Thank You

The July Challenge at Incy Wincy Designs is Round/Circles and/or Handdrawn/Sewing.  

I have used both options with my card - the card is circular with a circular image piece plus has hand drawn stitching at the edge of the image die cut.

I have used a digital paper from Bearly Mine Designs.  The image is stamped and embossed (no idea of the source of the image) and the sentiment is a sticker.

I followed a sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday:
