Don't discard the outside piece (it will be used for the 'love the beach' LO)
Distress the edges using DT49 Distressing Tool and Ink (I used Tim Holtz ink)
Lay them down as shown below
SH00 Sultry use the back design -Orange. Tear the corner design off and ink the torn edges.
SH19 Crochet Flowers - arrange them at the bottom right hand corner of SH00 Sultry.
Place at the bottom right hand corner of the base LO leaving a strip of green showing (attach adhesive to the two straight edges only at this stage).
CS98 Chocolate - Cut a mat for your photo 6 1/2" x 4 1/2".

Cut 17" of the green tulle from SH18 Ribbon Trim. Stitch with green thread through the centre of the tulle with a gathering stitch. Gather up to approx 6 1/2" wide.
CS98 Chocolate tear a piece 6 1/2" x 3"
Attach the tulle to the chocolate cardstock.
CH57 Lime Chipboard Alphabet - stick letters to the top of the tulle.
These photos don't show the great effect the gathered tulle has behind the word but you will love it!
Slip under the orange corner piece and adhere.
