One + Twelve

 

This is my 9th One Plus Twelve card for 2023--this is year number 5.   For this challenge, we are to use just one stamp, to make a card every month and post on the 3rd of each month.  For 2023, I picked a Taylored Expressions stamp and die set called Graceful Ferns.  I think this set is so versatile and I picked the largest fern image to use each month.  There is a With Sympathy sentiment and coordinating die in the same set, so that is what I used this month.  

For my card this month, I used a Taylored Expressions Masking Oval Stencil. I blended TE inks of greens--Lime Zest, Peapod and Cilantro--inside the oval.  I stamped the fern image over the blended oval. I then die cut the panel with my Gina K Designs Master Layouts 2 and backed it with black.  I stamped the sentiment also in black and die cut.  I added two layers of the die cut for a bit of dimension.  I added some Pinkfresh Studio Leaf Glitter Dots around the oval.

 

Please be sure to check out the other One plus Twelve cards to see what they picked for their stamp of the year for this challenge in 2023.  Here is a link to both Jeanette's  and Kelly's blog.  I am sure you will enjoy checking out each of our cards using the same stamp for 2023. I hope Kelly and Jeanette like my card and that you might too! Be sure to come back on October 3rd to see our cards for the next month!
