Final One + 12 Card

 

This is my 12th and final 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 this year, I had 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.  The three of us are continuing this in 2024, our year #6.  I already have my stamp set picked out!

For my card this month, I had both of the leaves and the sentiment already done and saved in my stamp set package.  The leave and sentiment was heat embossed on Night of Navy.  I needed a background and went with a pretty embossing folder from Altenew called Streamlined 3D. I used The Paper Cut's Opal Metallic cardstock as the Leaf Frond was die cut with Antique Gold Metallic.  I added some blue enamel dots around the two leaves and sentiment.
