Adhere the 1 x 3 7/8 punched edge to the right side of the navy dot print. Adhere the 2 ¾ x 3 7/8 navy dot print paper with punched edge ½ from right-side of plaid print paper edge. Die cut shape out using spellbinder shapes and 2 ¾ x 3 ½ stripe print paper. Using foam mounting tape, adhere die cut shape to center of navy dot print.
