To recreate the pick a season card, you will need:

Bloom Impressions dsp – 5⅞” by 2”
Melon Mambo card – 5⅞” by ⅜” x 2
Granny Apple Green card – 4” by 2⅞”

I stamped the tree trunk in Pecan Pie ink onto the small panel of Basic White card. I found it easier to stamp the tree canopy if the trunk was already in place. The tree canopy was then added in Granny Apple Green ink.
