INSTRUCTIONS:

1 Matt and layer Azalea mirror card onto the base card. Using the Scalloped and Pierced Square die set, cut numbers one and five in white card and then go around the edges of each panel with Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter. Cut numbers two and six in Azalea mirror card and affix to the appropriate scalloped die-cut panel. Trim down patterned paper from the Chic Boutique paper pad to fit the two different size layers. Go around the four sides of each panel using Silver Crystal Sparkelicious glitter and secure each one in place. Affix both layers to the base card using foam pads.

2 Place an A4 double-sided sticky sheet on top of Azalea Pearl card and die-cut using the Ornate Frame. Place the die-cut frame inside the embossing folder and emboss. Remove the top of the sticky sheet and cover with Rosy Glow Sparkelicious glitter. Adhere a piece of silver mirror card to the back of the frame and secure onto the main card with foam pads.

3 Stamp, heat-emboss and die-cut using the Stay Classy stamp and die set with Versafine Clair Black ink and Clear Gloss embossing powder onto white card and colour with the assorted marker pens. Stamp and heat-emboss the stamp again and fussy cut the glasses, hand and dress for a 3D effect. Decorate the image with Silver Frost Sparkelicious glitter, Pretty Pinks Self-Adhesive Sparkles and Glossy Accents, and then secure in place with foam pads.

4 Stamp, heat-emboss and die-cut the small bow twice. Colour with pens and cover with Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter. Finally, adhere both pieces together and secure onto the main card with glue gel along with a Pretty Pinks sparkle.

5 Stamp, heat-emboss and die-cut the sentiment onto white card. Cover with Silver Frost Sparkelicious glitter, then affix small pink jewels and secure onto the main card with foam pads.
