First take the sheet of white card. Squidge Unchartered Mariner Distress Oxide ink down on to a craft mat and spritz with a little water from a mister. Use a paintbrush to collect some of the inky puddle and tap above the white card creating splashes and splats. Do the same with Scattered Straw Distress Oxide ink. Leave to dry.

Cut a 4” x 12” strip of the plaid paper and add it  approx 3” from the bottom. 

Cut a 6” x 4.5” piece of the Daisy paper and place at right angles to the plaid paper approx 2” in from the right hand edge. 

Cut a 1” x 9” banner from the reverse of the plaid paper and place it overlapping the bottom of the paper together with a 4” x 1” strip of the reverse of the daisy paper at the top of the plaid strip. Also cut a 3/4” x 3” banner and layer it over the yellow striped banner. 

Place your two photos in the middle of the central section, between the banners, placed to the right hand side. Add a piece of 49 and Market film strip above the photos, on top of the Daisy paper. Add a title from the Dusty Attic ones in the kit. I inked mine in distress oxide before sticking down. 

Cut the two tags from the Journalling paper and tuck behind the Daisy paper and tie a bow on each tag with thread from your stash. 

Embellish with the flowers and ephemera as per the photograph placement. I also used buttons and flairs from my own stash. 

Add stickers and words  from the Bo Bunny Brighton Sticker book and finish with Vicki Boutin Where to Next? Puffy Stickers around the embellishment clusters.
