The frozen treat images in this month's stamp set are so fun to color! I used masking tape to mask off some of the stamped images so that I could create a single stamped "scene" to color. I used Copic Markers to color in the design (the individual markers I used are listed and linked below in the supplies).

I added some shadows to the stamped scene with some Cool Gray Copic Markers (see video for more details).

I used the border stamp in the SSS Ice Cream Dream Stamp Set with SSS Green Apple Ink to create a tone on tone background on the green cardstock included in the August Card Kit.

I used the new SSS Frames skinny rectangle border frame to cut out the stamped and colored scene (keeping the inside piece) and cut the design 4 times from the yellow cardstock included in the kit and adhered the skinny border one on top of another for a dimensional frame all around the focal point stamped and colored piece on my card.
