On the label I stamped the flower pot in Pebbled Path ink. I added the leaves with Lemon Lime Twist and Garden Green inks. I masked off the top of the pot with a Post It Note. The label was then glued to the 2⅞” by 2⅛” piece of Pebbled Path card.

I placed the decorated panel on the 5½” by 3¾” panel of Basic White card, roughly where I planned to adhere it. I then stamped the leaves in the upper left and lower right corners of the topper. The topper was then added to the panel on Dimensionals. The whole panel was glued to the larger Pebbled Path layer and then to the Lemon Lime Twist card front.
