Morning and we have the first challenge of 2024 at Scrapping4Fun which is Add a Turtle/Fish. Now this was another challenge I was going to miss as had nothing suitable,but during the decluttering I found these scraps of TH paper and a stamped Penguin image from goodness knows where!!! I coloured the penguin with Faber Castelle pencils,also found the die-cut which looked liked a photo frame so used that and the background was made during the lockdowns and trying new techniques shown by Tracy Evans.It was made putting ink on a stencil then using pva glue to add layers of tissues or you could use kitchen roll glued over the stencil and using a stencil brush or similar to press each layer onto the stencil then remove when dry -then leave in a box/drawer for two years until you accidently discover it again lol-also added a couple of dewdrops from stash as bubbles.
Any challenges with digi image prizes I amjust playing for fun/and support as no printer!

What a clever way to make your background! I like the part where you leave it in a drawer for 2 years, ha! Hey, you went with the flow for this challenge. The penguin is swimming like a fish, and a very pretty one at that! Carol, congratulations on your top creative honor at Double D. You had a very pretty card!
