Simon Says Stamp "All the Joy" Release: Festive Bouquets Stamp Set

I have another card to share from the SSS All the Joy Release using the Festive Bouquets stamp set. It's in the graphic above, but half of it is cut off! Here is an image of the Festive Bouquets stamp and die bundle:

Here is my card without only half showing haha:

I stamped the larger bouquet in the Festive Bouquets stamp set with Latte PSInk on white cardstock. I colored it in with Copics first and then with colored pencils. I love combining these two coloring mediums. The Copics give you the perfect soft base and then the pencils let you add shading and texture. So good together! I colored around all the images with a very pale green Copic. 

I used a black find tip marker for the insides of the flowers so they would pop. I added dots on the flowers with a dark Copic. I die-cut this piece with a SSS Basic Rectangle Die. I die-cut a thin frame using the SSS Thin Frame Dies out of one of the Holiday Color Blend Cardstock pieces. I then attached the outside of it to a card base, then attached the floral white piece with foam tape behind it and then glued the matching frame over the flower design. I flipped the Color Blend cardstock so the darker color was on the top of the outside and on the bottom of the frame. 

I embossed a sentiment from the stamp set with Nuvo Coral Chic embossing powder and die-cut it out with the matching dies. I also stamped one of the smaller sentiments with black ink and also die-cut it out. I attached the larger sentiment to the bottom of the card with foam tape behind it. I added the smaller sentiment below it. I used some of the red and pink sequins from the Red Berries Sequin Mix.

I went with a little different color scheme than you would typically use for a Christmas card. I tried to go more coral/pinkish than orange! I hope you enjoyed my take on this Festive Bouquets stamp set. Thanks so much for visiting! Suzy

Your technique of joining copics with colored pencils is perfection. This card is beautiful.
