For my next card, I did a technique I like to call stacked stamping. You've seen me do it a number of times before (such as here, here, here, and here), but this time I had 3 different layers. The card base, the word die, and the angled reverse cut panel (whew!). The flower stamp is from the set Petals and Stems and it's one of my faves! All 3 parts were done separately (with the help of a stamp positioner) but they were all colored with a Copic at the end. This last step with the Copic really brings depth and makes all 3 pieces come together.
Here's a close up of the die cut stacked over the card base. Love how it blends in!
Those are my cards for today! I hope that you go check out the new release and check out all the lovely project my teamies have in store for you today! Here's the full list...

Absolutely love both your cards, JJ. I was just looking at the Hello die in the AE store and here you show an unique way to use it. The Copic markers add a lot to the flower on one of my favorite "JJ techniques" you used on the second card.
