That's all there is to it!  The sample shown above uses the Faux Cloisonné technique for the seahorse, snail shell, and sand dollar.

4. Adhere seahorse, snail shell and sand dollar as shown.

5. Use a needle to poke a hole at top of seahorse, and pull Linen Thread through card stock.  Wrap other end of linen thread around top of Whisper White card stock and tie a bow as shown.  Slip a Mini Glue Dot behind knot to secure.  Adhere card stock to front of card over Misty Moonlight card stock.

6. Use tiny dots of Shimmery Crystal Effects to adhere sequins as shown.
