One Plus Twelve: August!

 Hi friends!

It's time for another round of my absolute favorite card series:

One Plus Twelve!

This is my 3rd year of doing this personal card challenge,

designed to stretch the use of my stamps in a creative way.

I chose a stamp

- and just one - 

and use it all year long for each of the 12 months.

You can peek here to see how it all started :)

And for this month, I'm sharing the one I made for my VSN challenge, 

the Black Magic technique.

Not to worry!

Nothing spooky, no potions, and Merlin won't show up waving a wand :)

It's SO EASY and the results are just breathtaking!

I don't mean my card ....

I mean the TECHNIQUE :)

Speaking of my card ...

Here it is - underwhelming that it is!

I had another one to share - in gorgeous shades of blue

and a 3D version of this one.

But .......

I could not find it.

Not here, not there, not anywhere!

I think, truly, I must have signed it and mailed it away

because I can't find it OR my pictures of it :(

And it sure was pretty :/

My 2 friends Barb and Jeanette are also playing along this year

and you can see their cards on their blogs today or whenever posted.

Creating this card, I stamped the image for 2021:

Altenew's Buid-a-flower Magnolia in Hero Arts White Unicorn.

Once it was dry, I used my Arteza colored pencils to fill in the black space with color, and added a heat embossed sentiment.

Easy peasy!

From shades of blue or shades of purple,

I wish you a day filled with color and happiness!

Thanks for stopping by!
