- I created the wave background, measuring 4 x 5 1/4 inches, with the Color Block Scenic Scape and Essential Rectangles die sets from cardstock colored with Tumbled Glass, Salvaged Patina, Mermaid Lagoon, and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide inks. The assembled waves were added to an A2-card base covered with Bazzill Canvas cardstock.
- I cut the pieces for the octopus with the Small Die Kit Club dies from cardstock colored with Abandoned Coral and Spun Sugar Distress Oxide inks and light gray cardstock.
- I cut the pieces for the jellyfish with the Small Die Kit Club dies from cardstock colored with Wild Honey, Ripe Persimmon, Twisted Citron, Lucky Clover, Shaded Lilac, and Villainous Poison Distress Oxide inks, and vellum.
- I added the assembled octopus and jellyfish to the wave background with dot and foam adhesive.
