Forever Fern

Posted on August 25, 2020August 22, 2020 by Mo Rootes

I found a stray die cut Whisper White oval on my desk, I had cut it using the Layering Ovals dies for another project but didn’t use it. I decided to use it to make a card today using the Forever Fern stamp set.

To recreate the Forever Fern card you will need:

Magenta Madness card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Bumblebee – 5 ½” by 3 ¾”
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” x 2
Whisper White – for the die cut oval
Magenta Madness 4” by ¼”

I glued the Whisper White panel to the Bumblebee layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and used the same glue to stick it to the Magenta Madness card base.

I flagged the ends of the Magenta Madness strip with scissors and added it with the same glue to the card front.

Using sponges I added Magenta Madness ink to the bottom of the oval and Bumblebee ink to the top of the oval. Looks like a sunset.

I used the Stamparatus to stamp a variety of leaves from the Forever Fern stamp set around the inked oval, I stamped each leaf 2 or 3 times to get a really dark colour.

I added the sentiment in the Memento Tuxedo Black ink. The stamped oval was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

The large peony image was inked up using the Daffodil Delight Marker for the flower and Granny Apple Green Marker for the stem and leaves. I love that we can use the markers in this way. The image was stamped onto the Shimmery White panel. Using the Water Painters I coloured in the flower using only the ink on the stamped image. I did the same for the leaves and stems.

After the image dried I started adding Mango Melody ink to the shaded areas of the flower with the small Water Painter. This gives more definition to the flower. I left the panel to dry completely.
