The small panel of Basic White was glued to the left-hand side of the larger Bermuda Bay layer. The remaining piece of Simply Marbleous dsp was added next to it. To cover the join, I added the 1/8” strip of Bermuda Bay card.

I inked up the large wave image using Bermuda Bay ink and added patches of Pacific Point and Misty Moonlight using Sponge Daubers and stamped it onto the larger Basic White panel. This was then mounted on the Misty Moonlight panel using the liquid glue.

The pelican on the posts was stamped in Soft Suede ink and coloured using Crumb Cake and So Saffron Blends Markers. I die cut it out using the co-ordinating Wave Dies and added it, on Dimensionals to the stamped panel. The whole piece was then added to the card front, taking care to add ink only to the left-hand side. The top of the stamped panel then tucked under the latch.

I stamped the poles with and without birds three more times on scrap Basic White and cut them out to add inside the card.

The ground was coloured with a Blending Brush and Crumb Cake ink and I added the speckles from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in 2^nd and 3^rd generation Soft Suede ink to give the ground some texture. The stamped panel was added to the Balmy Blue layer with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
