Gecko Galz Monthly Gothic Challenge - September 2023
I love dark and creepy images so Gecko Galz Gothic Challenge is right up my alley...I started off with the really cool image featuring scary looking bats and ravens perched in a spooky tree framed by an orange colored moon.
Gecko Galz - Monthly Card Challenge September 2023
I am trying to get back into crafting more and so I thought taking part in a few challenges would be fun. I made a few cards for the Gecko Galz challenges - this one is the Card Challenge. It's really fun and easy - they give you an image to begin with and then you create a card using it. Here is my creation....
Be sure to check out the other entries for this challenge...

House Mouse Birthday Card
Hello All..
Wanted to share this card I made for my youngest sons recent birthday.... He likes the House Mouse stamps and I have so much fun using them. I used the Sprinkles stamp plus a little candle stamp from one of the HM Cubes. Just added some extra sprinkles to cover up the bottom of the candle so it blends seamlessly.
I am entering this into the current House-Mouse & Friends Challenge #398 :)

Let's Bling It Up!!!
The current challenge at Lost Coast Designs - Bling It Up has allowed me to use one of my favorite supplies...GLITTER!!!
I know, I know...roll your eyes if you must but I love the stuff. It's just so pretty and I am usually pretty good about keeping it on the page and not elsewhere. If you don't like regular glitter you can use Stickles Glitter Glue for a "less mess" option.

Dirigible Puzzle Piece
Hello hello my Ink Stained friends!!
Today I have a fun Vintage/Steampunk creation to share with you...
this time it's a very large piece of the puzzle...
Once it had dried I stamped the Gears background stamp on to the piece using VersaMark ink.
I sprinkled silver, ancient gold and verdigris embossing powders over the ink - shook off the excess and heated to melt.

Mysterious Little Mermaid
Hello all of you inky people out there...I hope you're enjoying your week so far.
Today I have another card I made for the current challenge - Summertime! I thought I would go under the sea for this card and used the Mermaid with a Shell stamp.
I then commenced to work on the background. I had such fun stamping this background - I fount a piece of teal cardstock which had a faint pattern on it. I stamped the Mini Fish Collage and Mini Maritime Collage using VersaFine Clair Warm Breeze. I then used the Bubbles Background stamp to fill in the rest of the card. Finally I used one of the ornaments from the Victoriana set to stamp a center line using Verdant VFC ink. Once the ink had dried I used a white gel pen to fill in some of the Bubbles.
