Scrap Night of Navy

 

I ran the 5¼” by 3½” Basic White layer through the Cut & Emboss Machine using the Lazy Daisy Embossing Folder and adhered the embossed panel to the panel of Night of Navy card. The layer was then glued to the Lost Lagoon card base using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I laid out the 1” squares of Painted Illusions dsp on the 3” by 3” piece of grid paper creating a pattern. When I was happy with the layout, I used liquid glue to adhere the 1” squares to the grid paper.
