- Attach Adhesive sheets to the back of the Calypso Coral scrap and then die cut the coral from Calypso Coral cardstock and then use a sponge dauber to add a bit of Calypso Coral ink on the edges of the die cut coral.
- Set the Coral so it’s overhanging the Pretty Peacock layer. Use Paper Snips to trim the excess.
