2. Die cut a wavy section from the top of the other two circles, then layer on top in order of size. Matt the circular panel onto a larger white circle. Stamp, colour and cut out three seagulls and two cloud motifs. Adhere in and around the centrepiece.
3. Matt a white 11cm x 14cm side-folding blank with blue chevron paper. Wrap white twine around the right-hand side multiple times and tie into a bow. Stamp a sentiment onto white and trim into a pennant shape on one end. Fix to the greeting.
