Wild Wheat

To recreate the ornamental pot card, you will need:

Boho Blue card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Wild Wheat card – 5” by 3½”
Basic White card – 4¼” by 2½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside

I stamped the grasses, randomly all over the front of the Boho Blue card front in Boho Blue ink, love a bit of tone on tone!

Using the Countryside Corners Dies I die cut a label from the 4¼” by 2½” panel of Basic White card and a slightly larger one from the Whild Wheat panel.

I stamped the spray of grasses onto the white label in Wild Wheat ink. The pot was stamped onto scrap Basic White card in Boho Blue ink and fussy cut using sharp Scissors – yes I know there are dies, and I do have them but I had the scissors out before I remembered! The pot was added over the grasses on Dimensionals.

The decorated label was laid onto the Wild Wheat label and I decided I didn’t like the wide border, so I got out my trimmer and trimmed off an ⅛” off all sides, much better. The two labels were then glued together with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and added to the card front using the same glue.

The sentiment was stamped in Wild Wheat ink onto scrap Basic White card and cut down with Scissors. I added it with liquid glue at one end and a Dimensional at the other end.
