Using SU!'s Forever Fern stamp set, here's what my 8 x 10 1/2 sheet looked like after stamping and before cutting into quarters.
And here they are after trimming, adding my sentiment (Gina K's Vibrant Blooms), and adhering to a Cherry Cobbler panel and a cream colored card base.
Besides using the red & green (and Peacock Blue) inks, I also used Gold Delicata ink for the little dotted splatters...makes the cards a little more festive!
I usually do pretty well getting my Christmas cards done ahead of time each year, but I do scramble when it comes time to making some Christmas Thank You's, so I'm thrilled to have a few done already this year! I guess that's one good thing I can say about this pandemic, although not much else!! Hope you are all doing well and staying safe...the numbers sure are getting scary again!
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

These are gorgeous Marcia and I love the colors you used. I'm still waiting for my order to arrive..... This might be the first technique I try when it comes. Beautiful!!
Between you and Loll you two certainly have me hooked on this technique - and this set is so lovely in those colors - think this is going to be my "go to" technique when i make a batch of cards.
I agree with Betty....Love love love this technique. So much fun and it ends up making such pretty cards. I am going to try some Christmas colors on my next play out.
What a great idea to get ahead with your Christmas Thank you's and what a wonderful technique to do them with. Your colours and the stamping are amazing Marcia...I love them x.

Such a fun technique - I need to try it! Just love how you created four special Christmas thank yous, Marcia!! All so pretty!!
These are perfect for any time of the year, Marcia! Love the leaves and the colors you used!
If you don't mind, what colors did you use for the leaves and the product type please. They are just gorgeous!!
I used all SU! colors...Garden Green, Just Jade, Pretty Peacock, & Merry Merlot. The little dots were done with Delicata Golden Glitz Pigment ink. Hope that helps! :0)
LOVE these colours with that beautiful stamp set Marcia!! You are getting ahead with your Christmas TY's ... I still have lots of cards I need to make for Christmas, but I'm slowly getting there. :) xx
Another gorgeous Fourfer using this technique and that stamp set, Marcia! I've made a bunch of card fronts, too, both Christmas and non-Christmas. Now if I only I could hire a little neighbor girl or boy to put them on card backs, lol! That's the not-so-fun part of making cards. You keep in and keep safe!! Hugs, Darnell
Those turned out beautifully, Marcia. That was a great stamp set for the technique.
