I hunted around for scrap cardboard and this piece was already this shape. I just shortened it a bit. I ripped off the top layer of paper and painted the corrugations roughly with watered down white paint. I then added aqua paint.
The photo was taken at a beautiful Greek village we stayed at on holidays recently. I wanted to accentuate the sea and fishing theme so I've used fishing line and knotted pieces of string. For the "fishing net" I painted an orange bag with acrylic paint. This is not a very reliable option if the layout is going to get handled a lot as the acrylic paint didn't cover the bright orange plastic well. It's was ok for this though. A smattering of pearls helps give the page a lift.
