Here's a fun card if you've fallen in love with Boho Blue, one of the newest In Colors this year.  The card features two stamp sets:  Bottled Happiness, and Countryside Corners.  The sentiment comes from a third stamp set:  Timeless Arrangements.  The card uses a color theme of Boho Blue and Basic White, including several Heat Embossed Elements.  The flowers in Bottled Happiness are a two-step stamp, and I used Boho Blue ink and Misty Moonlight ink to stamp the floral image.   I mounted the borders created using Countryside Corners Bundle, on Foam Adhesive Strips, and I mounted my florals on double Dimensionals.  I used a Boho Blue 2023-2025 In Color Dot as an accent.  I created the sentiment using White Embossing Powder and my Heat Tool for the border and sentiment.   You'll have fun finding ways to use the various shapes you create with the Countryside Corners Dies and Stamp Set on your cards.

The basecard for this card is Boho Blue Cardstock  Then a layer of Whisper White Cardstock as my image layer, which was die cut using the largest Countryside Corners Die.  I stamped boarders for my image using the Countryside Corners Stamp Set and Dies from Boho Blue Cardstock.  I stamped the borders in Versamark Ink, covered the ink with White Embossing Powder and set it with my Heat Tool.  Then I die cut the borders using the Countryside Corners Dies.  I mounted the boarders on Foam Adhesive Strips and covered the Basic White image layer with the boarders. I saved the remaining, smaller boarders to use as my sentiment label.

Next, I used the Bottle Happiness Stamp Set for my images.  I stamped one of the bottles from this set in Boho Blue ink onto the Basic White Cardstock.  Then, on a separate piece of Basic White Cardstock, I used the two-step florals from the Bottled Happiness Stamp Set, and stamped the flowers in Boho Blue ink, and the leaves and flower centers in Misty Moonlight ink.  Previously, I've used my Stamparatus to line up these two stamps, however, this time I just looked through the clear stamp and the clear blocks and found it quite easy to line up the flower centers and leaves.  Then I fussy cut the floral piece, and mounted them on two-high Dimensionals and added them to my card front.

To  complete my card, I used one of the smaller Countryside Corners Dies to Die cut one of the border pieces.  Then I stamped a sentiment from the Timeless Arrangements in Versamark ink, covered it with White Embossing Powder, and set it using my Heat Tool.  I mounted one end of the sentiment onto double-high Dimensionals, and glued the other end to the border.    I added a Boho Blue 2023 -2025 In Color Dot as an accent.
