Repeat with Aqua polka dot cardstock measuring 12cm by 18cm. Glue towards the right hand side of the page as shown.

Trim Verde Candy Stripe paper to measure 28cm wide. Tear the bottom edge so that it measures about 10cm tall. Add a couple of pleats and roll the edge to add a distressed quality.

Glue across the page as shown.

Layer a 15.5cm by 10.5cm photo onto plain aqua paper (reverse of the Ornamental Flourish paper) measuring 17.5cm by 13cm. Add Sunshine Gingham paper strips to form a frame around.
