My friend Kelly invited another friend and me to join her in a year-long series in 2019 and we've had so much fun with it that we've been doing it ever since. The 12 + 1 series is a simple concept - choose one stamp (not a whole set, just one stamp) and use it on a card each month of the year. Additional sentiments are allowed but optional.
We've each chosen a different stamp each year. This year I chose a HUGE floral image from the Altenew Pristine Poppies stamp set. I used just a portion of it on this first month, as I wanted to use this week's SCS Sketch - SC991 - to make my card.
I would love for you to visit my blog where you'll find more photos and information about this card...

I love your 12+1 challenge idea! How wonderful to have good friends to interact with on it. Your bold yellow flower is a beauty on the weathered gray wood tone, Jeanette. It takes a striking centre stage!

Such a pretty card. I really like your color choices and the paper, too. Your 12+1 sounds intriguing - and a great way to challenge yourself to use your supplies.
