Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I love the detail on this die from Simon Says Stamp.
I cut one fern from Soft Seafoam cardstock and the other from vellum.
Using a finger sponge dauber, I added some Distress Oxide to darken the die cuts,
leaving the vellum fern lighter.
The embossed background works so well with these die cuts.
And a die cut sentiment finishes off this card for an anniversary.
And it works equally well with a copper die cut sentiment.

Two beautiful cards to celebrate an anniversary. I love these fern leaves. I haven't seen this die before. You're absolutely right, it's beautiful. Cutting a second leaf from vellum is a brilliant idea. I love this design.

Two super cards Bonnie! I love the way the green looks with the gold and the copper sentiments! Vicky x
ReplyDeleteWe must have had ferns on our minds, Bonnie. Wait until you see my card for Color Hues. I love your ferns and the colored vellum gives a lot of depth and dimension to your card.
ReplyDeleteBoth lovely cards Bonnie. Ferns and leaves are so pretty and the contrast between those two diecut ferns adds an extra dimension over the subtle texture of the embossed background 😀
ReplyDeleteWe loved the ferns that grew in our Two Acre Woods so much that we even moved some of them here, Bonnie! These are the ones - gorgeous irl and what a beautiful card they make, too!
ReplyDelete=]
Love the shaded ferns, so very beautiful with the gorgeous embossing. x
ReplyDeleteLove the fern duo atop the embossed background, Bonnie - what a perfect take on the colors with that copper sentiment!!
ReplyDeleteHi Bonnie! Those dies and EF are a match made in heaven! I would have not known you used vellum had I not read your post! Both are such pretty cards and I actually stopped over to see what you were up to and not because you happen to play at Color Hues, but glad you did.😀
ReplyDeleteLove the combination of cs and vellum ferns! Perfect shading on them with the ink. Great embossed background for them.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, CAS and lots of texture -- these two cards are wonderful and could be re-used on so many occasions! Well done, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteFerns are probably my favorite foliage, and this is so lovely with the ferns all the way through. The embossing makes a beautiful background, and you did an amazing job of creating depth with your vellum frond. Perfect for the color challenge!
ReplyDeleteThis is a really pretty die fern shape, and love the paler background one which you cut from vellum, and given a softer colour to put it in the background, and the fern embossing looks wonderful as the white base layer, and the green mat works well too Bonnie..a beautiful elegant card. x
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree, everything works beautifully together on your card. It is so nice when that happens. Well done. Using vellum was an excellent idea too xx
ReplyDeleteTwo Fern dry eb backgrounds and beautiful die cut fern card designs, Bonnie:-) TFS my friend. Love and Hugs..Nancy
ReplyDeleteBoth your fern cards are gorgeous, Bonnie. I love the dual ferns with the embossed fern background. A perfect match! xx
ReplyDeleteBonnie, these cards are so lovely! The beautiful ink-blended ferns against the white on white textures are a stand-out, and the copper greeting is a great finish! Thanks for joining us at Color Hues!
ReplyDeleteTwo fantastic cards suitable for any one or any occasion. Great designs and what really sets them off is your embossed background. These are beautiful, Bonnie and love the foiled sentiments too.
ReplyDeleteI have that die and I might have to CASE your wonderful CAS design, Bonnie! Love it in both the cardstock and vellum against the embossed background. Thanks so much for sharing with us at Color Hues!
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely. I like the embossing folder and those fern die cuts.
ReplyDeleteLovely cards, Bonnie. I have to agree many of the SSS leaf dies are beautifully detailed. You've shown the ferns off nicely and a perfect challenge entry.
ReplyDeleteBonnie what elegant cards you made.i love the fern and how you shaded them. It look equally as well with the gold sentiment as it does with the copper! Thanks so much for joining us at the Color Hues!
