STEP 5 Adhere the Designer Series Paper to the top of the Smoky Slate layer.
STEP 6 Adhere the Night of Navy square, turned to make it a diamond shape. The point should be in the centre of the flap.
STEP 7 The white layer should be in the centre, as a square. Punch out the greeting and adhere with a dimensional to the white layer.
STEP 8 Fold the flap over. Adhere the Smoky Slate layer centered to it covers the white piece on the inside. Stamp the sailboat on the white, with the seagulls, and adhere to the Smoky Slate.
STEP 9 On the top layer adhere the white piece on the Smoky Slate. Use Dimensionals (small for wheel, big for lighthouse) and adhere to top layer.
STEP 10 Stamp your greeting on the mini strip of white, cut ends as banners and adhere the strip to the top layer.
