Hi friends! It's a new year and a new stamp for my series ONE PLUS TWELVE, where I take JUST ONE stamp and create a card each (TWELVE) months!
For 2021, I'm using Altenew's Magnolia - my favorite flower!
This month was SO fun as I wanted to bring a teeny bit of 2020 and make it better in 2021 so I used cardboard from a Christmas box! I gesso'd and painted it, then distressed it, and build my card.
I almost layered the flowers but the challenge is just ONE stamp but I LOVE how this turned out!
If you'd like to see more details, you can see my blog post here today! TFL!

Beautiful, creative BG for the beautiful flower. Distressed cardboard reminds me of an old garage. Fantastic! Coloring/shading on flower, perfect.

Fabulous look, Kelly! I just tore some flaps from a box so I am loving seeing your distressing etc. background. Thanks for the inspiration. And what a cool goal. I look forward as well to seeing this stamp used throughout the year! Happy New Year!
Lovely card! I look forward to seeing your design each month.
