The images were stamped and embossed on dark gray cardstock with white embossing powder before being colored in with Polychromos. Simple stenciling over the panel, heart embellishments, and mixed and matched fonts perfectly finish this card.
There are very limited quantities available and it is ONLY available at Simon Says Stamp this STAMPtember while supplies last. The exclusive collaborations are selling out in record time this year, so act fast if you can.
This is the 11th Anniversary of STAMPtember and it's bigger and better than ever! Thank you so much for being a part of this incredible month-long stamp party!

Watch the creation of this polychromos slimline card from start to finish below or click HERE to watch in HD:
The flowers/buds were colored with White, Pink Carmine, and Dark Red Polychromos.
The leaves and stems were colored with White, Permanent Green Olive, and Deep Cobalt Green Polychromos.
The Simon Says Stamp Tiny Dots Stencil was stenciled over the background with white pigment ink. It's easy enough to stencil around the colored images rather than over them. I find this technique works best with a stencil that is easy to line up. Stenciling adds a great bit of interest to the background without overwhelming the design.
The panel was adhered to a white slimline card base (3 1/2" x 8 1/2") and finished with a scattering of Trinity Stamps Jelly Drop Hearts.

Welcome back to Day 3 of the Mama Elephant Design Team blog hop! We are celebrating 8 years with a fantastic new holiday release along with our amazing friends! Join us with some free goodies and our annual sale!
Today I'm sharing one of my favorite techniques for adding depth and dimension to die cuts: shading colored cardstock with Copic Markers. The new Foliage Frame is gorgeous and can be used for holiday and beyond. I created a holiday design today with Copic shading on the leafy frame, leafy branches, and flowers. A bright white embossed sentiment, gems in the center of the flowers, and glittery Nuvo Crystal Drops on the berries are the perfect finishing details.

Watch the creation of this foliage frame Christmas card from start to finish below or click HERE to watch in HD:
A sentiment from my new favorite holiday greeting set, Mixed Holiday Greetings, was stamped on the panel with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder.
The green leaves were adhered to the gold ones for a bit of a "shadow" effect and then adhered to the background leaf frame panel as shown.
The florals and berries were die cut from Hero Arts Cherry Cardstock. Each flower consists of a 5 petal flower and 2 - 3 petal flowers. Each layer was shaded with R46 and R59 Copic Markers. The flowers were assembled and glued in place on the card.
The sprigs were die cut from Gold Mirror Cardstock and finished with a berry on each top before being tucked into the floral design. I didn't add any shading to the berries as they are so super small and we will be adding sparkle to them later.
The frame was adhered to a white side fold card base.

Both backgrounds were created by die cutting the Slim Woodland from smooth white cardstock and coloring in the trees with E53, E55, and E57.
A solid slimline panel was inked with Mermaid Lagoon and Chipped Sapphire Distress Inks and spritzed with a Distress Sprayer for a "snowy" look.
Sentiments from the Mixed Holiday Greetings Stamp Set were stamped on the background with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder.
The Slim Woodland was adhered over the distress background and set aside while the images were stamped and colored.
Detail was added to the eyes with a black gel pen. Details were added to the scarves, hats, etc. with a white pen. A small heart accent finished the design.

Subtle embossed backgrounds really showcase the die cutting layered on top. I also think some tone-on-tone background stamping would be beautiful here.
The foliage frame was die cut with FSJ Fresh Forest Cardstock and Gold Mirror Cardstock. Each frame requires two die cut pieces. I layered the green on the gold and adhered and assembled the frame on the card as shown.
The "Hello" sentiment was die cut from FSJ Cranberry Bliss and Gold Mirror Cardstock. The red was adhered on top of the gold for a bit of "shadow" and adhered to the background as shown. A T-Square Ruler helped line up the sentiment perfectly.

A light pencil line was drawn down the center of the panel to help line up the bells. The bell outlines were stamped with Simon Says Stamp Black Ink. The bells were then stamped with Simon Says Stamp Watermelon Ink and Lawn Fawn Ballet Slippers Ink. Details like the layering designs were added on top of the solid bells. I just love all the little details!
The greeting from the stamp set was masked with post it tape so each letter could be stamped in a different color to coordinate back to the rest of the design.
