The trio of leaves were stamped on top of the smaller pot using Old Olive ink. The leaves in the Boho Blue pot were stamped in 1^st and 2^nd generation Granny Apple Green ink. The panel was then glued to the Boho Blue panel and mounted onto the Pebbled Path card base on Dimensionals.

The sentiment, from the Throughout the Year stamp set, was stamped in Boho Blue ink onto a scrap piece of Basic White card. I trimmed it down and added it to the card front.

I placed all the die cut pieces onto the smaller Basic White panel and moved them around until I was happy with the arrangement. I moved the pots to one side and stamped the ‘ground’ image from the Trucking Along stamp set in Gray Granite ink.
