Card Base
The first step is to stamp a background pattern on the card base. We've used Versamark ink and the Moss and Sage Chalks to create a monochromatic background. Stamp and chalk in batches. Alternate the Green and Blue chalk as you go.
Start with the Mini Seahorse stamp. Stamp several impressions and immediately use a chalk puff to apply the chalk (if the ink dries, the chalk won't stick). After you have enough Mini Seahorses, stamp and chalk the Tiny Seahorse. Follow with the Leaves, the Starfish, and the Flower.
Feature Panel
On the small White paper, stamp the Mini Seahorse in Peony. Then stamp the Tiny Seahorse in Green Tea. Stamp the Leaves stamp in Sage and then again in Green Tea. Stamp the Starfish in Split Pea. Last, stamp the Flower first in Lapislazuli, a second time in Green Tea, and a third time in Lilac. Use a little bit of Blue Chalk to edge the bottom and sides of this panel. Set aside momentarily.
Run the Blue card stock piece through the embossing envelope. Edge with the Gold Paint Pen. Set aside for a moment. Glue the rectangular pieces one on top of another in this order: stamped panel on top of Burgundy, Burgundy on top of Green, Green on top of Blue. Glue the Blue panel to the card base.
Cut-outs
On a White scrap, stamp the Mini Seahorse in Peony and the Tony Seahorse in Green Tea. Cut these out and using PopIt! tape, mount them to the centerpiece, on top of the corresponding images you stamped earlier.
Add the Adhesive Pearl and the Ribbon to the card and you're all done!
