INSTRUCTIONS:
1 Trim two different size matts from Azalea mirror card and printed paper from the Fabulous Florals and Flutter paper pad. Go around the four sides of the patterned paper panel using Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter and adhere both to the base card.
2 For the next layer, cut two different size matts in Azalea mirror card and Crystal White pearl card. Go around the white matt using Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter, then matt and layer both together and adhere to the base card with foam pads.
3 Colour a panel of white card, cut to the same size as the Butterfly Cascade embossing folder, using the assorted Oxide inks. Place the card in the folder and run through the die-cutting machine and sprinkle with Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter. Matt and layer onto a panel of Azalea mirror card and secure onto the main card with foam pads.
4 Using the embossing folder again, emboss a panel of white card and a panel of vellum. Colour some of the butterflies on both pieces using the Oxide inks, cover with Watermelon Crush Sparkelicious glitter, fussy cut, then attach to the topper using Pinflair glue gel. Decorate the background and large butterfly using the jewelled sparkles.
5 Stamp and heat-emboss the sentiment from the Birthday Happiness A6 stamp set onto white card with Versafine Clair Black ink and WOW! Clear Gloss embossing powder, then secure onto the main card with foam pads to finish.
