Cover the edges of each panel with Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter, and matt and layer onto the card front using foam pads. Die-cut Rose Quartz mirror card using the third-largest die from the Fancy Ovals die set and affix to the card front using foam pads.

2 Cover a sheet of Crystal White pearl card with a double-sided adhesive sheet and die-cut using the fourth-largest die from the Fancy Ovals die set. Die-cut Rose Quartz pearl card using the Floral Happy Birthday die set.

3 Using the Happy Birthday die from the same set, die-cut the words from Rose Quartz mirror card and layer this over the pearl card die-cut panel using dries-clear glue. Remove the protective top layer from the double-sided adhesive and affix the floral die-cut panel onto the Fancy Ovals panel. Infill with Chunky Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter and affix to the card front using foam pads.

4 Die-cut four large flowers and eight medium flowers from vellum using the Flower Power dies. Using the stamps from the same set, stamp the decorative detail onto each flower using the clear inkpad, then cover with Sparkling Snow embossing powder and heat set. Add colour to the reverse of the flowers using the marker pen.

5 Add dots of dries-clear adhesive to the tips of the petals of each flower and sprinkle with Chunky Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter. Shape the petals to look more natural and add colour to the reverse using the marker pen. Layer up the flowers, as shown, using 3D glue gel. Add a 12mm Sparkler to the centre of each of the large flowers and 10mm Sparklers to the centres of each of the medium flowers using glue gel. Affix the flowers around the central die-cut panel, as shown, using 3D glue gel.

Stamp six fronds from the Chloe’s Classics Volume 3 stamp set onto heat-resistant acetate using clear ink, cover with Opaque Bright White embossing powder and heat set. Add dots of dries-clear glue along the length of each frond and cover with Pink Perfection Sparkelicious glitter. Once the glue has dried, cut out the fronds by hand and affix around the flowers, as shown, using glue gel. Affix some Sparkling Silvers Self-Adhesive Sparkles to the centre die-cut panel to finish.
