Cards for Ukraine & One + 12

This is my One Plus Twelve card for March!  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 fourth year and pick a new image to use.

For 2022, I picked newer Stampin' Up set called Nature's Harvest.  I think this set is so pretty and I picked the largest coneflower or sunflower image to use each month.  There is also a coordinating die set called Harvest so I can use that some months too.

For my card this month, I am posting a card with the colors of the Ukraine flag, yellow and blue, along with sunflowers.  Such a coincidence that today is one of the days that many cardmakers are posting cards with this theme #cardsforukraine, to show support for everyone in Ukraine.  I am also offering financial support by bidding on some sweet cards on an auction to support Ukraine causes.  Crossing my fingers I win one or two and then I will make a donation to one of the organizations the sponsors have vetted.

Back to my card. I made the background with my Taylored Expressions blender brushes and TE ink cubes.   I stamped the image and colored the sunflowers with my Copic Sketch Markers. I then pulled out the matching die set--love it when I have those.  I also stamped one of the sentiments in this sweet set and layered with black  I added a clear dots for the final touch!
