Thank You Sweet Friend


This is my One Plus Twelve card, my fifth month of 2021!  This was the brainchild of Kelly and she asked Jeanette and me to join her in this challenge in 2019. We are to use just one stamp, to make a card every month and post on the 3rd of each month.  It was so much fun that the three of decided to continue for our third year and pick a new image to use.

For 2021, I picked a Gina K Designs set called Thankful Greenery.  I think this set is so pretty and I can see in my mind many ways that I can use this image.  Plus--I will have 12 thank you cards at the end of the year!

For this month's card, I embossed the image with my clear embossing powder.  I embossed on the green panel for a tone on tone look--and I love the shiny look.  I decided to not color the leaves and flowers this month.  I layered the image on an embossed panel in which I used a Cuttlebug Embossing Folder called Wedding Suite.  The sentiment is from the same set and is cut with a banner from Gina K's Master Layouts 3. Some pearls and a strip of green grosgrain ribbon are the final touch!



Here is the inside of my card:

I hope Kelly and Jeanette like my card and that you might too! Be sure to check back every month on the 3rd to see our cards!
