I guess it depends on what season you want. I'd say gable green or green galore for spring, glorious green for summer and garden green for summer/fall.
I almost always use garden green when it comes to stems. If you're going with a lighter look then maybe mellow moss. And for a brighter look glorious green. Good Luck! I'm sure your card will turn out great.

I use garden green also, but then I fill in the leaves with mellow moss for a softer look. That works well for spring....I used it today as a matter of fact.
I guess it depends on if you want your leaves & stems to look "real" or "bright" or " colorful"....I think we are no help to you at all are we????

I bought Glorious Green just for flowers but found I didn't like it much. Then got the Garden Green & love it. For more muted or antiqued looking cards I use Old Olive.

The chalk Ink green (olive pastel?) also makes good stems in case you aren't confused enough. If you go look in your yard there is a huge variation in real flower stems and leaf colors as well, so use whatever pad jumps in your hand first.
I love old olive the best, actually when I first started buying inks, I got all the greens right off, they are SO important.
Definitely old olive has my vote, I like it with everything!

What green works best for flower stems?
