Start by embossing the card front. Spritz the card front with Antique Linen Distress Spray Stain and allow the card to dry. Alternatively, you could emboss and spritz a separate cardstock panel and adhere it to the card.
Create a mask by restamping the image. Cut around the Pelican and sand and placing the mask on the main image. Add color to the sky and water. Cut around the leaves so they will be free when the image is die cut.
Wrap card with white Baker's Twine. Place the image atop a larger oval and place on the card with 3D adhesives. Stamp phrase with black ink, mat with cardstock and add to the right corner.
