Instructions:

1. Cut two pieces of smooth white cardstock, 8.3cm x 20.5cm and 8cm x 16cm.

2. Sponge rows of Tumbled Glass, Broken China, Faded Jeans & Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide inks onto the larger piece of cardstock, beginning at the top and blending well between the colours.

3. Flick with water droplets and press off with paper towel. Mix a small amount of Broken China & Faded Jeans inks with water and flick over the background then allow to dry.

4. Sponge Antique Linen Distress ink over the smaller piece of cardstock. Die cut a Stitched Hill across the top then, sponge Frayed Burlap around the edges.

5. Mix a small amount of Frayed Burlap and Walnut Stain Distress ink with water and flick over the background, then allow to dry.

 

6. Adhere a 9.3cm x 21.5cm piece of black cardstock to the card front and set aside.

7. Die cut a Slim 3 Window die from watercolour cardstock.

8. Layer the sandy piece over the water background at an angle, then use the edges of the Slim 3 Window die cut piece to trim away the excess. Adhere the layers into place with double-sided tape.

9. Stamp a variety of Under the Sea and Sea Treasure images onto blender card and colour with Copic markers. Die cut using the coordinating fussy cut dies.

10. Arrange the images onto the card front, using a combination of double-sided tape and foam mounts for dimension.

11. Die cut a sentiment using the Cut-apart Essentials #5 die and adhere across the top centre panel, tucking the ends under the frame either side.

 

12. Add some Mint rhinestones around the background, then adhere the entire panel to the card front to finish.
