Welcome to the Simon Says Stamp Believe In You Release Blog Hop Day 2!
Today I'm sharing two cards created with new flower die cuts from the release, colored in with Copic Markers. I am a huge fan of coloring in all white die cut pieces with any kind of coloring medium. I'll be sharing one card created with an all over flower background and one card with a flower garden border. I'm using the new Sunflower Stem, Daisy Stem, Cosmos Stem, Stripe Jumble Background, and Thanks and Encouragement Mix Set. Don't forget to scroll down and leave a comment for a chance at an incredible giveaway from Simon Says Stamp as well as links to the artists participating in today's hop! Let's get started!

Watch the creation of these copic colored die cut flowers cards from start to finish below or click HERE to watch in HD:
Both of my cards feature floral designs. The first card has an all over cosmos background and the second a flower border. Create lots of sentiments at once with the amazing new Thanks and Encouragement Mix Stamps and Dies Set. Stamp blocks of all kinds of greetings and die cut with the coordinating dies. Use the sentiments you want for the cards you're making and save the extras for your next project!
I die cut the Cosmos Stem multiple times from smooth white cardstock and colored the flowers in with the following Copic Marker color combinations:
Pink: RV02, RV04, RV06, RV09
Orange: YR02, YR04, YR07
Yellow: Y11, Y08, Y19
Stems: YG21, YG17
The flowers were adhered all over a white top fold card base. A stamped and embossed sentiment from the Thanks and Encouragement Stamp Set was adhered with foam adhesive to the background. The card was finished with Nuvo Crystal Drops in Carnation Pink, Ripened Pumpkin, and Dandelion Yellow.
For my second card I die cut several Sunflower Stem, Daisy Stems, and Cosmos Stems, and colored them in with the following Copic Marker color combinations:
Orange cosmos: YR02, YR04, YR07, YG21, YG17
Yellow daisy: Y11, Y08, Y19, YG21, YG17
Pink cosmos: RV02, RV04, RV06, RV09, YG21, YG17
Sunflower: YR30, YR31, YR24, E55, E57, YG21, YG17
Purple daisy: BV0000, BV11, BV13, BV17
The flowers were adhered to a white top fold card base as shown.
The Stripe Jumble Background was stamped on white cardstock with black ink, trimmed into a thin strip and adhered along the bottom edge of the card as shown. A black cardstock strip was adhered along the top edge.
Stamped and embossed sentiments from the Thanks and Encouragement Stamp Set were adhered to the design as shown. The card was finished with Nuvo Crystal Drops in Carnation Pink, Ripened Pumpkin, and Dandelion Yellow.

For the second card it was so interesting to see the elements going on and the card moving from good to great. Every little addition enhanced the overall look of the card a lot. Well Done.

Nichol, you are very talented. Thanks for sharing!
What is the name of the tool that you used to pick up the middle of the flowers, I couldn't find it. Thank you!! Nancy R.

Well, I'm seriously in love with that technique, I've never purchased that type of die before because I couldn't think what you would do with it, and just cutting it out of colored cardstock would be boring. But these are stunning! Thanks for sharing such a wonderful technique with us!
