INSTRUCTIONS:

1 Trim a sheet of patterned paper down to 7¾” square and affix to the card using dries-clear glue. Trim white card to 7¼” square and edge with a chisel-tip glue pen. Cover in Crystal Crush Sparkelicious glitter. Affix to the card using foam pads. Trim another sheet of patterned paper to 7” square and affix to the card using dries-clear glue.

2 Die-cut a scalloped rectangle from white card and edge with a chisel-tip glue pen and cover in Crystal Crush Sparkelicious glitter. Affix to the card at an angle using foam pads.

3 Die-cut a pierced rectangle from white card and run through the flower bouquet embossing folder. Carefully ink over the leaves and stems using a blending brush and Bundled Sage Oxide ink. Once dry, trace over the stems and leaves using dries-clear glue and cover in Lime Zing Sparkelicious glitter. Apply glue to the buds and cover in Lemon Drop Sparkelicious glitter. Once dry, affix the panel to the card using foam pads.

4 Emboss two sheets of blue, pink and orange vellum using the Flower Bouquet embossing folder. Shape the petals by creating a valley fold down the centre. Matt and layer two large blue flowers, two medium pink flowers, and two small orange flowers using foam pads. Affix to the card using 3D glue gel.

5 Die-cut three stamens from the set and glitter using a chisel-tip glue pen and Crystal Crush Sparkelicious glitter, then affix to the centre of the flowers and add a sparkler to the centre of each.

6 Stamp out ‘remember that you are’ and ‘beautiful’ onto white card using a clear embossing inkpad and heat-emboss using Polished Silver Superfine embossing powder. Die-cut the word ‘beautiful’ and affix to the card using foam pads. Trim around the other words and layer onto another panel of white card. Edge with a glue pen and cover in Crystal Crush Sparkelicious glitter. Affix to the card using foam pads. Add a few crystals to the corners and background of the card to finish.
