The ONE new in '22 ~ February!

Hello friends!

Today's card is for my One Plus Twelve card series

where if you've been following my blog,

you'll know this one is my FAVORITE ever!

This is my 4th year doing this series and you can start here  :)

I take ONE stamp (and only ONE)

and use it TWELVE times, each month on the 3rd.

The idea:  We pay a lot of our stamps, dies + supplies!

Often, they get used once and filed away, never to be seen again

so this way, you'll stretch the use of those stamp to the utmost!

This month's stamp is Pink Fresh Studio Butterflies

and just love how fresh and gorgeous it is!

For February, I decided to do some paper piecing and stamp onto the 

designer paper from Doodlebug Designs.

I wanted something this month to reflect the month of love <3

I added a sentiment to the inside of the card

from the same stamp set:

My 2 friends Jeanette and Barb have joined me again this year

in this series and you can see their cards on their blogs, too.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Be blessed,

Kelly

Hi friends ♥

Today's post is celebrating butterflies ~ for two reasons!

Today is the day the Calendar Girls launch our monthly cards

with a chosen theme.  This month, our hostess Linda,

asked us to create a card with butterflies - that's it, just butterflies!

Since that was the theme for my card, and today is also the day

the Cornish Heritage Farms DT post our bi-weekly challenge cards,

I knew the direction I wanted to go with my card ♥

Irit is our hostess this week and gave us this challenge ~

to use 3 different craft/coloring mediums on our cards.

Wow!

 

For my card today, I started with a butterfly digi image from CHF -

they not only carry a delicious variety of rubber stamps but

digital stamps as well, some of them as low as .99c!

I printed the digi on watercolor paper

so the Tattered Angels glimmer mist would stick the best (medium #1)

I colored the butterfly with both primsacolor markers in light shades

and outlined it with a watercolor colored pencil in white (medium #2).

Lastly, I brought my acrylic white paint out and painted over a piece of

corrugated cardboard I had on hand for the background piece (medium #3).

 

I've also added another CHF sentiment to the inside of the card

along with the small section of cardboard that was extra from the front.

I am all about using leftovers in crafting!

This sentiment can be found in the shop, too :)

 

Be sure to stop in and see what the rest of the Calendar Girls

have created with their Butterflies cards - you can find them

in my sidebar ......

 

And be sure to see what the Cornish Heritage Farms DT has made,

and you can find them listed in my sidebar!

That's a lot of inspiration right there!

If you upload your CHF cards using 3 craft mediums to a gallery

like Splitcoaststampers, please use the keyword  CHF58.

Thanks for stopping by today! 

Big Hugs, Bigger Blessings!
