Fern Congratulations

You know I adore the Forever Fern Bundle of products. I have used it several times. Well, today is one more. I needed a special Congratulations card and went back to these awesome definition stamps.

I rarely make a White on White card. I did today, and actually made another one for my club cards. I will be sharing that one later in the week. But for this card, I felt the gorgeous colors I used to stamp, plus the beautiful DSP , needed a clean slate behind it. The base card is Thick Whisper White, and the layer is regular weight Whisper White raised with Dimensionals.

I used the Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper as the grounding spot. It is cut using the Stitched Rectangle Dies. In person , the stitching detail around the edges shows up a bit more than here. For the sentiment, I wanted a really pretty “Congratulations”. I found this one in Celebration of Tags. It is a new set in the annual catalog that matches the Trio of Tags Dies ,which carried over. I didn’t use the matching dies, as I wanted just a bit larger background. So I used one of my favorites the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. Not only do I love the shape, but they have the stitching around the edge to match the Stitched Rectangle.

For the greenery, I used a variety of greens. I used Pear Pizzaz, Just Jade, and Pretty Peacock for the various types of leaves. I then used Soft Sea Foam with the splatter stamp from Forever Fern. It is really soft and that was just enough splatter around the card. I stamped it twice after each inking, so some spots are lighter than others.
