INSTRUCTIONS:

1 Die-cut Crystal White pearl card using the largest die from the Blooming Border die set. Using the blending brush and Spun Sugar Distress Oxide ink, colour the edges and set aside to dry. Once dry, glitter the edges with Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter and attach to the card base using foam pads.  

2 Trim a sheet of Crystal White pearl card to 6¾x6¾” and a piece of patterned paper from the paper pad to 6½x6½”. Add Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter to the edges of both pieces and then matt and layer onto the card front using foam pads.

3 Die-cut three pieces of White Crystal pearl card using the largest three dies from the Lace Heart die set. Using the blending brush, colour the edges of the largest heart with Spun Sugar Distress Oxide ink and leave to dry. Once dry, go around the edges with Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter. Leave the second-largest heart white and go around the edges with Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter. Using the blending brush, fully cover the second-smallest heart with Spun Sugar Distress Oxide ink and then matt and layer all three hearts onto the card front using foam pads.

4 Die-cut Crystal White pearl card using the decorative die from the Lace Heart die set. Using the chisel-tip glue pen, coat the entire decorative heart and then cover with Crystal Crush Sparkelicious glitter. Attach to the card front, as shown, using Dries-Clear PVA adhesive.

5 Die-cut the bride and groom from the Wedding Arch die set from Crystal White pearl card. Using the blending brush, colour a small piece of Crystal White pearl card with Spun Sugar Distress Oxide ink and die-cut the small flowers from the additional elements contained within the Wedding Arch die set. Attach the small flowers to the bride’s bouquet and the groom’s pocket, as shown, using Dries-Clear adhesive. Affix the bride and groom to the right of the heart using 3D foam pads.

6 Stamp three large, six medium and three small Rose Mallow Flowers onto Chloe’s vellum using clear ink. Cover with Blushed embossing glitter and heat set. Die-cut the flowers using the corresponding dies from the die set. Run the chisel-tip glue pen along the top edges of each petal and cover with Crystal Crush Sparkelicious glitter. Shape the petals by twisting each petal around tweezers and layer up the flowers using 3D glue gel. Add a pearl from the Frosty Christmas Bling Box to the centre of each flower using Dries-Clear glue. Attach the flowers to the top-right and bottom-left corners of the card, as shown, using 3D glue gel.

7 Die cut two pieces of Crystal White pearl card using the two ‘celebrate’ sentiments from the Wedding Sentiment Builder stamp and die set. Take the thinnest die, coat with Wow! clear ink, and cover with Blushed Wow! embossing powder. Heat to set and affix to the larger die-cut piece using Dries-Clear PVA glue. Affix the layered sentiment to the top-left corner of the card using foam pads cut to size.

8 Stamp two fronds from the Dazzling Foliage stamp and die set onto heat-resistant acetate using Wow! clear ink. Cover with Opaque Bright White embossing powder and heat set. Fussy cut the fronds, add dots of Dries-Clear adhesive along each frond, and coat with Glass Slipper Sparkelicious glitter. Arrange these around the flowers, as shown, using 3D glue gel.

9 Stamp six small leafy branches from the Summer Foliage stamp and die set onto heat-resistant acetate using Wow! clear ink, cover with Opaque Bright White embossing powder and heat set. Fussy cut the foliage, coat the reverse of each leaf with Dries-Clear adhesive and cover with Sugared Pink glitter, then set aside to dry. Once dry, arrange around the flowers using 3D glue gel.

10 To finish, add tiny nail crystals to the floral elements within the die-cut Lace Heart and the centre of the small flowers on the Bride and Groom.
