Last week I made 4 beautiful cards using the Forever Fern stamp set and it's coordinating designer papers. They looked so amazing in the catalog, but they're even nicer in person. :)
For my first card, I inked up one of my acrylic stamps like Karen Kwenzakovic did on her blog, spritzed it with some water and then added some of the fern images. It's a little different from my usual stamping look, but I really like how it turned out. I used 4 greens, starting with the lightest one and continuing using a darker green each time until I covered the block.
For the next card, I used the designer paper, and then added a rectangle using the Stitched So Sweetly dies. I got the idea for this card from mystampgarden blog. If you notice in the photos, I used two different sides of the designer papers and although different, I love the look of each of them.
I'm usually a white-on-white card making girl, but in this case, I love how it turned out. I used the new thin Greenery embossing folders and love the soft look of them. I got the idea from Patsy Waggoner on Pinterest.
And lastly, I wanted to use the Ferns in a different color. You don't have to always use greens for this set. I copied the idea for this card from Karen Henderson and I just love the purples mixed with the navy blue and Coastal Cabana colors.
Seriously, I could use this stamp set all day!
