Cut a piece of white card stock to 4” x 5 ¼”. Take you True Blue Floral designer series paper and find the piece with the floral springs and cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼”.  Use your arches dies to cut the labels, with the large one measuring a width of 3 ¼” to cut out of Secret Sea, the 3” wide one to cut a piece of Balmy Blue and the 2 ¾” die to cut a piece of white card stock.
