  1. I just stumbled across your video on YouTube. I thought it was a fun layout so grabbed two sheets of the BoHo Indigo dsp and cut the pieces according to your directions. When I was going to add the 3/4″ piece to the front I realized it wasn’t going to cover the way it was intended so I cut a really narrow strip of one of the other pieces and added it for more variety. Fun card to make.
