Delicate Ferns

I bought this fern die quite a while ago and have finally got around to using it.

Laurie's card (stampin up north) inspired me to

buy this die and the alcohol inks.

Thanks for the enabling, Laurie.  I have certainly had fun with them!

The background was done with Alcohol Inks.

The sentiment with stamped VersaMark ink and heat embossed with black powder.

I die cut the fern from the background and again from green and white card stock.

Then I used the embedded die technique, fitting the white fern in to negative space.

Glued the green fern on top and added a little bow from some Perle Cotton that had been 

in my stash forever.

I'm entering this in some challenges.

Mixed Media Card Challenge

Stamping, Alcohol Inks, Die Cuts
I'm hoping that when the Spring weather comes,
my ferns will turn green instead of black.

Scrapy  Land Challenge #13

The theme for this challenge is

Anything Goes using any brand of die Scrapy Land sells.

I used a Memory Box Die (Delicate Fern)

Cuttlebug Mania

Please use monochromatic green

(shades of green with white or cream or black)

 I used my Big Shot to cut the ferns.

Simon Says Monday Challenge

Just a hint of clover…

use green on your card.

Would you like to see what I did with the alcohol inked cut out fern?

Thanks for dropping by.

Enjoy!
