INSTRUCTIONS:

1 Cut a sheet of silver mirror card to 7¾” square and affix to the card blank using Dries-Clear glue. Cut a sheet of Crystal White pearl card to 7½” square and go around the edge with a chisel-tip glue pen, then cover in Crystal Crush Sparkelicious glitter. Affix to the card using foam pads. Trim a sheet of patterned paper down to 7¼” square and matt onto the card using Dries-Clear glue. Cut a sheet of foiled vellum to 7” square and affix to the card using Dries-Clear glue, applying the glue in each corner and to the centre.

2 Trim Crystal White pearl card to 6½” square and die-cut the oval die 10 from the centre. Edge with a chisel-tip glue pen and cover in Crystal Crush Sparkelicious glitter. Affix to the card using foam pads for dimension.

3 Stamp out the bride and groom and bouquet images onto white cardstock using a Versafine dark grey inkpad. Cover in Clear Gloss Wow! embossing power and heat set. Die-cut using the coordinating dies. Carefully apply glue to the bride’s dress and hair piece, then cover in Diamanté Sparkle Sparkelicious glitter. Apply small self-adhesive sparkles to the buttons on the groom’s shirt. Affix to the centre of the card using a double layer of foam pads for extra height. For the bouquet, colour in the leaves with a pale green alcohol marker. Apply Dries-Clear glue to the flowers and cover in Crystal Crush Sparkelicious glitter. Affix to the card using Pinflair 3D glue gel.

4 Stamp out four small and two medium magnolias onto Crystal White pearl paper and heat-emboss using Metallic Silver Superfine Wow! embossing powder. Die-cut using the coordinating dies. To shape the flowers, create a valley fold down the centre of each petal. Apply dots of Dries-Clear PVA glue onto the flowers and cover in Crystal Crush Sparkelicious glitter. Stamp out two small and one medium magnolia onto heat-resistant acetate and heat-emboss using Metallic Silver Superfine embossing powder. Carefully trim around. Apply dots of Dries-Clear glue to the centre and cover in Diamanté Sparkle Sparkelicious glitter. To layer the flowers together, take two of the same size white flowers and one acetate and glue together using 3D glue gel. Affix into the corners of the card using 3D glue gel.

5 Die-cut two small and one medium stamen from silver mirror card. Apply Dries-Clear glue to the edges and cover in Diamanté Sparkle Sparkelicious glitter. Add to the flowers and add a pearl to the centre of each.

6 Stamp out four leaves onto heat-resistant acetate and heat-emboss using Opaque Bright White Wow! embossing powder. Carefully trim around. Apply glue to the back of the leaves and cover in Diamanté Sparkle Sparkelicious glitter. Once dry, tuck in behind the flowers using 3D glue gel.

7 Stamp out three of the beaded sprays from the Dazzling Foliage set onto heat-resistant acetate and heat-emboss using Sparkling Snow Wow! embossing powder. Apply dots of glue to the sprays and cover in Crystal Crush Sparkelicious glitter. Once dry, tuck in behind the flowers using 3D glue gel.
