When You Have a Mental Block + Forever Fern

Hello there! Thank you for joining me today for a project created with the Forever Fern Bundle. I’m having a mental block as to the ribbon that I want to feature at the bottom right of the sentiment panel. Leave a comment or send me an email as to which ribbon I should adhere.

I chose my colors from page 160 and sketch from page 165 of the new 2022-2023 Annual Catalog.

I’m really happy this is carrying over. It’s a fabulous any occasion stamp set that can be used year-round. I’ve used this for Christmas many times by changing the colors.

As always, your shopping Supplies and Instructions, including measurements, are below.

I started out with an A2 landscape card base in Coastal Cabana and then cut another piece as a mat.

I stamped the dotted image from Forever Fern with Coastal Cabana onto the image panel in a diagonal fashion to soften up the Coastal Cabana and to add some textural interest.

The images were stamped in Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green, and Coastal Cabana the cut from their coordinating dies.

The sentiment was stamped in Versamark onto Basic White CS, gold heat embossed, then cut from a Stitched Rectangle Die to fit.

For final assembly, I arranged my images as shown above. The tips of the images were adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the bottom with liquid adhesive.

The sentiment was adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals and a large Brushed Brass Butterfly was used to embellish.

The first 3 pictures show you the options I’m struggling with as to which bow to place.

I hope you enjoyed today’s project and please let me know if you have any questions. I look forward to your suggestions!

Thank you for stopping by for a visit and have a great day!
