1 Trim a sheet of Azalea mirror card to size and secure onto the base card.

Die-cut another panel using Azalea mirror card and the second die from the set. Matt and layer both panels together and attach to the base card with foam pads.

2 Stamp and heat-emboss the sentiment onto Crystal White pearl card using Metallic Gold embossing powder. Die-cut the sentiment using a small oval die from the Scalloped and Pierced Oval die set, then matt and layer onto a mirror card die-cut panel and secure in place using foam pads.

3 Fussy cut the foliage from the Floral Frames and Flutters foiled acetate. Working on the back, apply Art Glitter glue and Absolutely Pink Sparkelicious glitter and put it on one side to dry completely. Stamp, heat-emboss and die-cut the foliage from the Fresh Foliage stamp and die set using the Metallic Gold embossing powder onto white card.

4 Die-cut the Flower Ombre vellum pad flowers using the Flower Swirl die set. Place into the Flower Swirl 3D embossing folder and emboss. Glitter the petals using Strawberry Sorbet and Lemon Sorbet Sparkelicious glitter. When dry, shape and adhere together with glue gel. Colour the 10mm and 12mm Sparklers with a pink marker pen and secure to the middle of each flower.

5 To finish, attach the foliage and flowers to each side of the oval topper using glue gel and decorate the background with Pretty Pink jewels.
