Before coloring, I highly encourage that toner ink stamping just in case you mess up. That way you haven't invested a ton of time coloring a panel only to have to start over! If you do forget to do the tone stamping first and make a mistake, you could always trim the top and bottom away from the center and rework the design as to not waste the colored parts!
A Four Seasons Autumn 6x6 Paper Pad patterned paper was die cut with the Envelope Liner Die and adhered inside the flap of the envelope for a pretty inside to the envelope that matches the look and feel of the stamped and colored card.

Today we have a special mini hop showcasing the incredible October Card Kit of the Month! I thought it would be fun to create a non-traditional colors fall card inspired by the patterned papers from the kit. I also thought it would be fun to use dies and a stencil from the brand new Make Merry Release for this slimline paper pieced fall card!
The mushrooms, pumpkin, and owl from the 6x8 Happy Fall Y'all Stamp Set were stamped on smooth white cardstock. The mushrooms, banner, and owl were stamped on Simple Stories Cozy Days Double Sided Papers. The scarf for the owl was paper pieced and glued in place on the white cardstock owl. The mushrooms were also paper pieced and adhered to the white cardstock mushrooms.
The owl was colored with Copic Markers in W1, W5, W6, and W7 with YR04 for the nose and R81 for the cheeks and eyelids.
The pumpkin was colored with E40, E43, E44, and E47.
The banner was colored with R81, R83, and R56.
The images were all fussy cut and adhered to the card as shown.
The slimline panel was adhered to a white slimline cards base to finish the design.

I created two slimline style scenic cards for you today with a couple of new stamp/die combos form the release. Both card feature no-line coloring with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers, a die cut Waffle Flower Modern Neutrals Patterned Paper background (the white on white really sets off the coloring) and a die cut border created with a Simon Says Stamp Slimline Marquee Die. Each card features one stamp/die combo! Got to love a card that can be completed with one stamp set!
Greetings from the stamp set were stamped on the cheese with black Versafine Onyx Black Ink and on the sign with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder.
The images were die cut with the coordinating Holiday Cheese dies and adhered to the background with foam adhesive.
Snowflake and mini star confetti embellishments were added to the background for a touch of sparkle. Honey Gold Nuvo Crystal Drops were added to the center of the snowflakes. Heart accents were added to the mug.
I just love how the design of the patterned paper adds a subtle touch of design to the background!
Apple: Deep Red, Pale Rose, Mid Green, Olive Green, Mid Brown, Beige
Pumpkin: Brick Beige, Blender, Mid Brown, Beige
Acorn: Mid Brown, Beige
Detail was added to small lines (ladder, string of leaves, greeting banner) with a fine tip black pen.

Gold mini star confetti embellishments were added to the background for an additional touch of sparkle.
The panels were adhered to white slimline card bases.

All three cards feature the absolutely incredible Spider Web Background Glimmer Plate. This amazing glimmer plate can be foiled twice per background to create a complete frame. Or only use it along the top of bottom. The detail is incredible and it's my absolutely favorite spider web product!
The bats and moon clipped square was adhered directly to a white top fold card base. A spider web was die cut from vellum using a Spooky Boo Die and adhered between the two clipped squares frames. The frames were adhered in place on the front of the panel and the panel was adhered to the card base with foam adhesive.
Spooky Boo Dies bats and a spider were die cut from FSJ Black Licorice cardstock and adhered to the card. The spider was finished with a layer of Glossy Accents.
A glimmer sentiment from the Spooky Greetings Glimmer Plate was foiled on the background with Black Foil for a layered foiling look. This is one of my favorite foiling effects!
A sentiment phrase from the Simon Says Stamp Zombie Boo Stamp Set was stamped below the foiled greeting using clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder.
