Tear the end off the blue tag and ink all the edges with the Brushed Corduroy. Stamp the grass stamp along the torn edge and now adhere this tag to the black one. Stamp the boy on the Sunkissed paper, trim out and ink the edges – adhere this stamped panel to an argyle pattern panel (Tee Time paper) and adhere to tag.
