Soft Fern

Father's Day card #2!  So many "man" cards to make before Sunday!  I've had this fern image inked up and sitting in my bits and pieces stash for years (literally, years).  I could never make it work before, but I finally found some papers that went with it, and . . . I love how it turned out.
