 3. Cut 2 pieces of pale green patterned paper (14.5cm x 14.5cm) and glue to both sides of the inside of the card. Cut a 29.5cm x 2cm strip of white card. Fold in the centre and then fold each side into the centre as shown.

 4. Add honeycomb washi tape across the strip and glue to the centre of the card making sure to only attach the two outside quarters.

 5. Die cut 4 frames in peach paper and cut a piece of 4 different patterned papers and white card each measuring 6cm x 6.5cm.

 6. Glue the patterned paper to the white card and then glue the frames on top. Glue the centres of these to a folded part of the strip with washi tape on top.

9. To finish, add a length of gold honeycomb washi tape along each side of the card front to create a frame.
