Adhere the red life saver pieces to the white life saver.

Adhere the mouth to the bottom of the whale. Adhere the top of the whale to the bottom of the whale. Adhere the fins to the whale. Colour in the eye of the whale using a black gel pen.

Adhere the life saver to the bottom right side of waves. Adhere the fishtail 1/4" from the bottom and all the way to the right hand side of the 5 1/4" rectangle. 

Adhere the 5 1/4" rectangle to the 5 3/4" rectangle. Wrap a piece of twine three times along the bottom edge of the sentiment. Knot the twine of the left hand side of the cardfront. Cut a cardbase out of White Soft Finish Cardstock that measures 5 3/4" x 9", score at 4 1/2". Adhere the cardfront to the cardbase.
