My ONE in 2021 - October

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. Want to know more? You can read all about it on my January 3rd blog post - found HERE.

My ONE stamp this year is the maple leaf from the Stampin' UP! Gather Together stamp set.

This month I did an ink smooching technique to lay down three colors of Ranger Distress Inks onto a piece of heavy white card stock.

After the ink was completely dry, I placed it in my Misti and stamped the leaf onto the colorful paper.

After die-cutting the leaf, I put together a very simple card, letting that colorful leaf to be the only color on the card, other than the card base.

The sentiment is from a Close to My Heart stamp set called Happy Autumn.

I hope you'll keep an eye out on the 3rd of each month this year to see how I do with this ONE stamp - and also will check out Kelly's and Barb's ONE stamp cards, too. Speaking of which, let's head over to their blogs now to admire their June cards.
