The Forever Fern stamp set is a Distinktive stamp set. This means that the way the rubber was etched, the image looks more realistic with more depth and dimension in a single stamp. You can see that on these images. I didn't do anything special to these images. I inked up the rubber and stamped them.
The card base here is Evening Evergreen with Soft Succulent accents and just a touch of Blackberry Bliss. I did use the coordinating dies for the Soft Succulent and Blackberry Bliss "ferns". The background is embossed with Timeworn embossing folder.
Isn't it amazing how a little torn cardstock can change the look of a card? Image, if you will, the Evening Evergreen being straight across. I'm not even sure it would look right. Tearing cardstock is so basic and yet very easily overlooked. I did create a different card on a Facebook live HERE where I did tearing of cardstock. I wish I would have added a scallop oval of Blackberry Bliss behind the greeting.
I used a technique called shadow stamping to create this card. Start by stamping the image with a dark color ink. Stamp the image again with VersaMark ink, sprinkle with white embossing powder and heat set. I then used a blending brush to add more ink to the area. It looks like shadows! HERE is the Facebook Live I did making this card.
There is so much more that can be done with this set. Just changing the colors makes the card have a whole different feel! Here's hoping that life doesn't get in the way of stamping and creating so this fantastic set can find it's way back to my table!
