“Surf’s Up!” is a FTU tagger size scrap kit
created by me, Bev of HorsePlay’s Pasture Designs and can be downloaded from my designing blog here.

so now.

around the element making sure the dotted line touched along the line you want
feathered and staying away from the sides of the element you don’t want
feathered.
