SCS Sketch #SC1065

I have been part of the Sketch team on Splitcoaststampers for a few years now. Whether it's my week to create the sketch (the first Wednesday of each month) or I'm creating a sample card based on the sketch someone else created, I find that having a sketch to use can get my creative ideas flowing. 

There is a new sketch to work with every Wednesday. I encourage you to check them out.

I created this week's sketch - #SC1065:

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

Keeping One Plus Twelve Alive in '25 - June

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.

We started this series in 2019, so this is our 7th year. 

My ONE stamp this year is the bloom from the Gina K Modern Floral stamp set

Per the series guidelines, we can only use the ONE stamp, although sentiments are also allowed, but since I wanted to have a stem/leaves, too, I simply hand-drew them with a fine-point permanent marker. I then dabbed ink onto the two leaves using the tip of a Q-tip.


You can see Barb's and Kelly's cards on Instagram as well as their blogs...
