Instructions: 

1. Using a sheet of the pale blue cardstock, mark out 2cm on all four sides then cut out using a rotary paper trimmer, or craft knife and metal ruler. 

2. Use a piece of the Blue Horizon paper as the base of your layout and remove the branding strip.

3. Mark 2cm from the top and 2cm from the left of the Blue Horizon paper and tear these two strips using a ruler as your guide. Then with a sanding block, sand all four edges and adhere this paper to the 12x12 cut pale blue cardstock piece. With your fingers, lift up some of all four edges of the Blue Horizon paper.

4. Remove the laser-cut brick piece from the rectangle brick wall laser and with a sponge, dab on some gesso or white acrylic paint to the rectangle leftover piece and set it aside to dry. Now it’s dry, adhere this rectangle piece to the centre of the base of your page.

5. Using foam dots adhere your photo to the centre of the rectangle.

6. Using the paper tag die set and a sheet of the Nautical Dreamscape paper select two of the tags and die cut out one of each of using both of the paper tags and adhere these two tags with foam strips.

7. Select a couple of flower images from the Vellum creative cuts, remove the backing to adhere or glue them down.

8. Select from the creative cuts, three of the flower clusters, a whale, two of the ship wheels, and Dream Big words and adhere all these using foam strips.

Note: Rachael did fussy cut away the mermaid tails from the creative cut flower images before adhering to the page.

9. Using the leftover pale blue cardstock and one of the foliage dies from the Enchanting Greenery die set, die cut out and adhere these to your page.

10. Adhere some of the 8mm glass domes to finish.
