I stamped the stack of pots using Pebbled Path ink onto scrap Basic White card and die cut them using the Storybook Garden Dies. The pots were coloured using the light and dark Copper Clay Blends Pens. The pea plant was stamped using the Pebbled Path ink and these were coloured using the Lemon Lime Twist and Granny Apple Green Blends Pens. The peas were then glued to the back of the pots which were then mounted onto the card front on Dimensionals.

From the 4½” by 3½” panel of Basic White card, I die cut an Arch using the same dies. On scrap Basic White card, I stamped the daisy image in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. The image was coloured using the Fresh Freesia, Daffodil Delight, Soft Sea Foam and Old Olive Blends Pens. The coloured image was then mounted onto the card front on Dimensionals.
