Cut a piece of Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper 1-3/4" x 4-3/4", and adhere to left side of Highland Heather piece, keeping an equal border at the top, left, and bottom. Keeping the same border width at top, right, and bottom edges, use multipurpose liquid glue applied sparingly with a sponge to adhere vellum piece to Highland Heather piece, overlapping patterned paper slightly.
