Stamp the dotty image with Blueberry Bushel ink in the bottom right and upper left of the circle, overlapping the drawn circle. Add the splash image next to the blue dots with Secret Sea ink. Add glue around the four sides of the panel, stay away from the middle and adhere to the Old Olive card front.

Use the same die to cut a circle using the drawn in circle as your guide. Keep the Old Olive circle to use later and add the white circle to your stash.
Fold and burnish the inner layer – start with the largest rectangle on the right and valley fold, fold the next scoreline mountain and the last mountain i.e back on itself. Apply the dsp panels to the middle two rectangles. Stamp the sentiment in the right-hand panel.

Fold the card base down the centre scoreline, add glue to the largest rectangle of the inner panel and place inside the card base with the left-hand edge of the inner panel butted up to the centre scoreline and close.

Placing the strip of Mixed Up Patterns dsp alongside the stamped sentiment, but not gluing it down, we moved it to one side and stamped the splash image in the lower left-hand corner with secret Sea ink so that part of the image will be visible when the dsp is glued down.

The dotty image was stamped in the same way at the top of the piece of dsp with Blueberry Bushel ink. The dsp was then glued into place.
