Die-cut the second and fourth dies using Azalea mirror card and secure into place. For the tops of these two layers, trim down sheets of patterned paper from the Chic Boutique paper pad, glitter around the sides using Diamante Sparkle Sparkelicious glitter, and adhere both layers to the base card using foam pads.
3 Stamp, heat-emboss and die-cut the Glamour Handbag four times onto white card using Versafine Clair Black ink and Clear Gloss embossing powder. Fully colour in two of them in different shades of pink. Using the other two images, colour the corners, fasteners and handles, then fussy cut and attach to the main handbags using glue gel for a 3D effect. Decorate with Silver Frost Sparkelicious glitter. Stamp, heat-emboss and die-cut the large bows and tags. Colour and glitter with Crystallina and Silver Frost Sparkelicious glitter, then secure in place along with 12mm Sparklers (for the bows) using glue gel.
