I use to shy away from distinctive stamps. Why, I’m not really sure! So when the Sale-a-bration Brochure came out, I immediately fell in love with the Calming Camellia Stamp Set! The Calming Camellia Stamp Set is found in the back of the Sale-a-bration Brochure.
One of the new programs I started with 2022 is a monthly card challenge. I hold it on my Facebook Page, Simply Kards by Kathi. This month is a Sketch Challenge that I designed. I used the Calming Camellia Stamp for the card I made as an example for the challenge. The Sketch and my card are listed below. For the card, I used a black and white theme with Melon Mambo for the stamp. I loved it so much, I made four more. For each card, I used different colors. They are show throughout this post. Hop on over to my Facebook Page and join in on the Challenge!
