Adhere one flower to the back of each boot, mixing the stem colors and the angles of the flowers for lots of easy visual texture. Adhere the boots with some foam tape and adhere to your die cut panel. Now pop the panel on a card base and it’s ready to go! PRO TIP: Use one of our long sentiments on a layer on the card or stamp one of our phrases inside when you have a card sending occasion.
