Instructions
  1. Cut a piece of white cardstock 11cm x 15cm and distress the edges and ink with brown pigment ink.
  2. Cut a rectangle 13cm x 18cm of the stripy side of the Sailing Boats patterned paper.  Distress and ink the edges with brown pigment ink.

  4. On this teal side of the patterned paper use the waves stencil and gesso and create a pattern that runs from the left hand side towards the right hand side, as per the photo.
  5. Once this has dried, run the pigment stamp over the gesso lightly, to add some brown touches.

  8. Use 3D double sided tape to adhere the wheel to the card, along the left edge and in the middle of the card.

  10. Arrange and adhere all the flowers and leaves, on and alongside the ship wheel, as per the photo.
  11. Add some of the teal lace, in between the flowers and leaves.
  12. Fussy cut the Relax sentiment from the patterned paper and adhere to the middle, bottom of the card.
  13. Cut a piece of stripy lace and fold in half and adhere to the top, left of the tag.
