INSTRUCTIONS:

1 Die-cut the largest scalloped square onto your card blank, remembering to overhang the die on the spine edge slightly, to create a shaped card. Die-cut the same scalloped square from Quartz pearl card. Edge this panel with a chisel-tip glue pen and cover in Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter. Affix to the card blank using dries-clear glue. Die-cut a pierced square from gold mirror card then affix to the card using foam pads.

2 Cut a square of Quartz pearl card and emboss using the swirly snowflakes embossing folder. Affix to the card using foam pads. Trace over the dots on the pattern with dries-clear glue and cover in Dulce de Leche Sparkelicious glitter. Trace over the swirls on the pattern with dries-clear glue and cover in Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter.

3 Die-cut a snowflake circle from gold mirror card and affix to the card using foam pads.

4 Stamp out the stars from the Christmas Angel set onto a circle panel, die-cut from Quartz pearl card, using a clear embossing inkpad and heat-emboss using Golden Glow embossing powder. Affix to the card using foam pads. Stamp out the angel onto Quartz pearl card using a clear embossing inkpad and heat-emboss using Polished Gold embossing powder. Die-cut using the coordinating die then colour in the face and hands using alcohol makers. Apply dries-clear glue to the dress and cover in Champagne Shimmer Sparkelicious glitter. Once dry, apply dries-clear glue to her wings and cover in Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter. Affix to the card using a double layer of foam pads. Add a few self-adhesive sparkles around the angel.

5 Stamp out the sentiment onto Quartz pearl card and heat-emboss using Polished Gold embossing powder. Layer onto gold mirror card and affix to the card using foam pads. Add a few dots of dries-clear glue around the sentiment and cover in Dulce de Leche Sparkelicious glitter.

6 Affix a self-adhesive sheet to Quartz pearl card and die-cut three large and three medium Wonderland Poinsettias from it. Peel off the backing and cover one large and one medium in Dulce de Leche Sparkelicious glitter and the remaining ones in Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter. Shape by curling the leaves. Layer using 3D glue gel and add a sparkler to the centre of each. Affix to the card using 3D glue gel.

7 Cut out some swirly foiled foliage from the acetate sheet and add dots of dries-clear glue around the swirl then cover in Dulce de Leche Sparkelicious glitter. Once dry, carefully tuck in behind the poinsettias. Die-cut two stars from gold mirror card and affix to the circle using dries-clear glue to finish.
