Instructions:

1. Select your motifs from the paper napkins and follow the instructions below to prepare them for the card. This card uses 1 larger motif and 2 smaller motifs with anchors and small ship motifs.

3. Using the picture as a guide, cut a wide strip of corrugated cardboard and glue it onto the card.
4. Glue your prepared larger square onto the card in the center.
5. On the right side of the motif, glue a couple of the smaller squares.
6. Punch dolphins out in white and navy blue.
