If you water down sage green wilton gel food color it will give you and AMAZING sheer effect and i think you will really like it. make a practice "pallete"of fondant and knock your self out practicing!

Practice on a piece of fondant first, it is pretty easy as long as you have some painting knowlege.

If that does not work out, you an also do it in buttercream with a leaf tip. Hold the bag at a 90 degree angle and start to make a leaf base, then lift off, straight up, quickly and repeat this to form a fern, like the picture attached.
