INSTRUCTIONS:

1 Trim a sheet of Azalea mirror card down and attach to the base card. Die-cut the largest die from the Decorative Square Frame die set in Crystal White pearl card, edge all four sides using Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter, and attach to the base card with foam pads. Matt and layer on top Azalea mirror card and patterned paper from the Flower Power paper pad, glittering the edges of patterned paper matt with Diamante Sparkle Sparkelicious glitter.

2 Die-cut the scalloped outer die from the Floral Panel die set in Azalea mirror card. Using the second die from the set, die-cut using patterned paper from the Flower Power paper pad. Go around the four sides of the second piece with Diamante Sparkle Sparkelicious glitter, attach both panels together and secure onto the base card with foam pads.

3 Using the Decorative Oval die set, cut the second die in Azalea Mirror card and the tenth die from the Basic Oval die set in patterned paper from the Flower Power paper pad. Adhere together and secure onto the main card with foam pads.

3 Die-cut the Floral Happy Birthday Sentiment in Crystal White pearl card, colour with the Oxide inkpads, cover with Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter and Chloe’s Chisel-Tip Glue Pen, then attach to the topper with Art Glitter glue.

4 Using the Flower Power die set, cut the flowers from Crystal White pearl card. After each cut, leave the flowers in the die and colour with the Oxide inkpad and then remove them as this gives a white edge on each petal. Repeat this process so there are enough petals to make a display. Shape the petals and adhere together with Pinflair glue. Die-cut the stamens in Azalea mirror card, glitter the tips with Fiesta and Mexican Sunrise Sparkelicious glitters, and secure to the middle of each flower along with a pearl from the Leafy Lace Bling Box.

5 For the foliage, die-cut the Leafy Foliage in Crystal White card and glitter with Stardust Green and Ocean Paradise Sparkelicious glitter. For the Swirly Foliage die, cut from Lagoon mirror card, attach the foliage and flowers on either side of the oval topper and secure in place with Pinflair glue.

6 Using the Happy Birthday from the Floral Happy Birthday Sentiment die set, cut from Crystal White pearl card four or five times, and adhere together using the Art Glitter glue. For the top one, colour with the Salvaged Patina Oxide ink and cover with Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter. Secure onto the main card and attach the pearls from the Bling Box to the background flowers to finish.
