Happy Saturday! Splitcoast Stampers is a constant source of inspiration for me and I love playing along with the challenges there. This week there was a challenge to make a card showing other hobbies of interests we have other then cardmaking. Well, I love being out in the garden so I decided to ink up some more of my ferns and using them to stamp with.
So I laid my ferns in a box to confine the ink then sprayed them using Mr. Huey's spray ink. I gently picked up the fern and pressed it onto my oval then lifted and pressed again. I love the look of the ferns printed onto the paper...so natural and lovely detail. I wanted to mount the oval onto an embossed background but wanted to keep the fern as the focal point so I partially embossed it then added the sentiment. The twine keeps it all more natural looking too.
I am adding my card to these challenges:
Brown Sugar Challenge- SUMMER
Addicted to Stamps- CAS
Sister Act Card Challenge- ANYTHING GOES
