• Lastly use die 5 and cut from Crystal White Pearl Card. Run this piece through the Pretty Poinsettia Embossing folder. Add to the card using foam pads. Apply dries clear glue to the poinsettia and cover in Diamante Sparkle Sparkelicious glitter. 

• Cut 3 other pieces of white card large enough to cover the poinsettia and run through a die cutting machine in the embossing folder. Cut out the top three layers of the poinsettia, cover the largest one in dries clear glue and cover in Glass Slipper Sparkelicious. Shape using your fingers and add all layers on top using 3D glue gel. Add three clear crystals to the centre. 

• Add small clear crystals to the foliage detail in the background using dries clear glue. Add some larger clear crystals and / or Glass Slipper Sparkelicious to the larger foliage in the background.
