TLC601 = Using actual items found in nature to stamp, smash, glue, etc on our cards. Karen Dunbrook has some excellent suggestions and tips HERE.
CAS392 = diagonal. Mine is not a straight line diagonal, but a curving one of the fern's central vein.
I embossed the topmost fern image with clear EP over a bg that I had lightly sponged with color. Then I used actual fern fronds from my yard to stamp the other ferns you see. Did more sponging, water misting and cleaning up the main fern image to make it more prominent.
