Ferns are the theme of today’s card. Nature’s Prints is an awesome stamp set for any card need. Flexibility is a trait of a wonderful stamp set.
Beginning
To begin with the colors is only part of where this card started. The Sweet Sorbet embossed piece is the actual beginning. It was a discarded piece laying on my desk. And as they say….the rest is history! LOL!! When I saw the embossing from using the Fern 3D Embossing Folder, I knew which stamp set I wanted to use. And that led to what colors. Based on the Sweet Sorbet I decided to go with bright colors and opted for Starry Sky.
Stamps
The Nature’s Prints stamp set is a perfect one for a variety of reasons. But for this card it was due to the sentiments and the fern stamp in the set. That fern stamp matches the embossing on the Sweet Sorbet layer. To mimic that I stamped tone on tone down the side of the card base. Then to carry that for the sentiment I stamped off once and then stamped the fern onto the White layer. The sentiment is stamped using Sweet Sorbet Ink.
Finishes
Actually the next step deciding how to layer everything. To give more dimension and texture I tore the top and right side of the embossed Sweet Sorbet layer. After adding the sentiment layer I tied a bow around it using the beautiful Starry Sky Metallic Ribbon. For the finishing touch I had to add some bling. This time I went with the Classic Matte Dots in White. They bring help blend the White sentiment layer with the other colors.
