Hi there,
Here is my card for the WT today; use string, twine. My garden is over-run with ferns these days. I love them but have had to pull a few out. It seemed like such a shame to compost all the gorgeous fronds so I brought them inside and used them for cardmaking....true recycling!!
I sprayed my fern with Mr. Huey's spray ink then carefully lifted it up and pressed it onto my tag. The background is embossed, then splattered with more of the ink and then I added the banner and the burlap. I like how the embossed bkg. mimics the look of the burlap.
thanks for looking,

Karen, your card leaves me sighing. Love the bright spring green you used for the fern frond and spatters and the burlap with its neat texture carries out a "natural feeling". SO beautiful.

Oh, Karen this is phenomenal! I love your repurposed fern "stamp". Your colors are beautiful and the background is amazing! The burlap is a perfect ground for your design.

Fabulous look with the fern and burlap. I was just looking at the card I made when we did stamping with leaves for the TLC and remembering how much fun that was - now I have a double reminder.
