Decorate your card base with foliage from the Forever Fern Stamp Set. By using the same color of ink as your cardstock, you can create a beautifully subtle tone-on-tone effect. It adds dimension without distracting from the focal point of the card. Stampin’ Up!’s papers and inks match perfectly, so you can create with confidence that your project is going to turn out amazing!
TIP: Ink up your block and use it as a stamp!!! It creates great backdrops to use with any stamp set.
Crum Cake cardstock square and Crum Cake ink for block stamping
Soft Suede Ink for dark brown foliage
TIP: Stamp the block for the focal image. There is still plenty of ink left on your block to stamp it again on the interior piece of Basic White. Stamp it at an angle off of the corner.
The little details make handmade cards so special! Place one sweet stamp on the back of the card and decorate the envelope!
