Woodland Embossing folder (139673) is magic, and looks great when the ink pad is run over it, to accentuate the trees.

The technique is easily achieved.
1. Cut out the desired featured shapes and place on the card stock you are going to stamp on - in this case Very Vanilla on Very Vanilla, with the stitched squares held in place with a dot of double sided tape.
2. Ink your Stamp (Lovely as a Tree, in this case) and stamp heavily on your Very Vanilla card stock with positioned stitched squares.
3. You will notice a halo around each stitched square - that is where the mat comes into place. Cut coordinating mats and adhere to the stitched squares.
4. Position the above assembly and adhere in place.
5. Sponge, water colour, accent your card as you wish and complete with a base card and greeting.

You can see the stitched squares over lapped a bit but that only added to the effect...
