INSTRUCTIONS:
1 Trim a sheet of Vista mirror card down and adhere to the base card. Using the Scalloped and Pierced Square die set, cut numbers one and five in Crystal White pearl Card and glitter the four sides of each panel using Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter. Die-cut numbers two and six using Vista mirror card and secure each one to the appropriate scalloped die-cut panel. For the top of each layer, secure a panel of patterned paper from the Pastel Rainbow Delight paper pad, glittering around the four sides of each using Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter. Attach both layers to the base card using foam pads.
2 From the Scalloped and Pierced Circle die set, cut a mid-size circle in white using a scalloped edge die and glitter the edges using Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter. On top of this panel, adhere a stitched circle from the Leafy Lace A4 paper pad and adhere to the base card with foam pads.
3 For the flowers, die-cut three sheets of flowers from the Flower Ombre vellum, place inside the Flower Swirl 3D embossing folder, and emboss. Glitter the petals with Mexican Sunrise Sparkelicious glitter, then, when dry, shape the petals and adhere together using Pinflair glue gel. Colour the Sparkles using marker pens and affix them to the middle of each flower.
4 Stamp, heat-emboss and die-cut the foliage from the Fresh Foliage stamp and die set using Light Green embossing powder onto white card. Arrange the flowers and foliage on to the left-hand side of the circle and secure in place with Pinflair glue gel.
5 Stamp and heat-emboss the sentiment from the Amazing Beautiful Lovely Sentiment Builder stamp and die set using Silver Bells embossing powder onto white card and adhere to mirror card. Die-cut the outer die for the word ‘Amazing’ in mirror card, cut the inner die in white card and glitter with Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter, then adhere together and secure onto the base card with foam pads.
6 To finish, affix the small Pretty Pink Self-adhesive Sparkles to the background and affix the bow and coloured jewel using Pinflair glue gel.
