ONcE More in '24 - October

The 3rd of each month is a special day here on my blog - it's the day that Kelly (the founder of this series), Barb, and I share our One Plus Twelve cards. The idea is to use the same ONE stamp (not a set) each month to create a card. Sentiments can be used, too, if we choose. 

My ONE stamp this year is a beautiful floral (a very large one) from the Altenew Pristine Peonies stamp set.


I blended three colors of ink randomly onto a piece of white CS and then stamped the image on it. I used the  coordinating die to cut out the image.

I hope you'll keep an eye out on the 3rd of each month to see how I do with this ONE stamp this year. You'll also be able to see Barb's and Kelly's cards on Instagram as well as their blogs...

SCS Sketch #SC1030

I find that having a sketch to use can get my creative ideas flowing, so I love being part of the Splitcoaststampers Sketch Challenge team. There is a new sketch to work with every Wednesday. I encourage you to check them out.



Here's this week's sketch - SC1030:


My card:

It's always acceptable to tweak the sketch a wee bit and make it your own (there are no SCS police). Sheesh! I even was the one who created this sketch, and I tweaked it when I made my card.

I hope you'll use the sketch to make a card, too.
