I chose to design this card using the Boho Indigo Product Medley.  This is an amazing bunch of products and I had a great time designing this card! I Love this Medley so many possibilities so many cards.  I hope you like it!

    Layer 6 - Very Vanilla - 4 x 5 1/4
    Layer 7 - Boho Indigo Gold Foil Die Cut
    Layer 8 - Boho Indigo DSP - 1/2 x 5 1/2
  2. Layer 1 - Adhere to the card front.
  3. Layer 2 - Using Garden Green ink stamp the leaves about 1/2" from top edge and centering left to right.
  4. Adhere to the left side of the card front leaving about 1/8" on the left, top and bottom edges.
  5. Layer 3 & 4 - Using the Boho Indigo Dies cut out One of each of the large leaves. You will end up with three Garden Green leaves and three Vellum leaves.
  6. Layer 5 - Cut out large vase then cut vase in half. Top to bottom. Set aside.
7.  Layer 6 - In Cherry Cobbler ink stamp the (3) flower image over the entire sheet.


8. Using a die cutting machine and the Boho Indigo Dies cut out four vases.


9. For the smallest vase you will want to back the decorative cut outs with a small strip of Very Vanilla.


10. Trim off any excess.


11. With scraps of Night of Navy cut small strips to adhere to the 3 smaller vases.


12. Adhere them to the tops of the three smaller vases as shown.


13. Adhere the two halfs of the Night of Navy vase to the side of the largest vase then wrap the Boho Indigo gold ribbon around the top of vase.


14. For the smallest vase tie a knot in the Forever Greenery Gold twine and glue to vase with Multipurpose Liquid glue.


15. On the next vase place a Mini glue dot on the back of the vase then wrap the Forever Green Gold trim around twice then tie a know. (Note: this trim unravels quick so it might help to but some tape on the ends until you are done tying knots)


16. The next vase which should be the second tallest. Adhere a Mini glue dot to the back then tie a knot in the front.


17. Adhere large vase to Layer 2 positioning over the stamped leaves using Stampin Dimensionals.  

18. Using the other three vases figure out where to position the leaves then adhere them to the card front. Using Stampin Dimensionals adhere the vases over each set of 2 leaves. 

 19. Color 5 of the felt flowers with Dark Cherry Cobbler stampin blend. Once dry adhere to card front as shown.  

20. Layer 7 - Stamp the sentiment in Cherry Cobbler ink then adhere to the card front in the top right corner as shown.  

21. Layer 8 - adhere to the inside of the card along the bottom edge. Then stamp sentiment in Cherry Cobbler ink and the flourish image in Night of Navy ink.  I used the "A Wish For Everything " Stamp set for the sentiment for the inside of the card!
