INSTRUCTIONS:
1 Create a 7¾” square panel from Aquamarine pearl card and edge with a chisel-tip glue pen, then cover in Crystal Crush Sparkelicious glitter. Affix to the card using Dries-clear glue. Trim a sheet of Crystal White pearl card to 7½” square and edge in Crystal Crush Sparkelicious glitter. Affix to the card using foam pads. Trim a sheet of patterned paper down to 7¼” square and affix to the card using foam pads.
2 Die-cut the second Decorative Square die from Crystal White pearl card and edge in Crystal Crush Sparkelicious glitter. Affix to the card at an angle using foam pads. Trim both a sheet of silver mirror card and patterned paper to slightly smaller than the die-cut panel and affix to the card using foam pads.
3 Die-cut the outer layer of the Geometric Star from Aquamarine pearl card and edge in Crystal Crush Sparkelicious glitter. Die-cut the next layer from Crystal White card with a self-adhesive sheet stuck on. Die-cut the Merry Christmas Star from Aquamarine pearl card and affix to the star with the self-adhesive sheet. Cover in Crystal Crush Sparkelicious glitter and affix to the card using foam pads.
4 Stamp out six large and six small poinsettias onto white vellum using the clear embossing inkpad and heat-emboss using Opaque Bright White embossing powder. Apply Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide ink to the back of each flower and die-cut using the coordinating dies. Add dots of Dries-clear glue to the centre of each flower and cover in Crystal Crush Sparkelicious glitter. Layer up the flowers, using three for each, and affix to the card using 3D glue gel.
5 Die-cut four stamens from Aquamarine pearl card and apply glue to the edges. Cover in Ocean Paradise Sparkelicious glitter, then, once dry, add to the centre of each poinsettia and add a bling stone to the middle.
6 Stamp out four holly leaves from the Candy Cane stamp and die set onto heat-resistant acetate using the clear embossing inkpad, then heat-emboss using Sparkling Snow embossing powder. Glitter the back of the leaves using Crystal Crush Sparkelicious glitter. Once dry, cut around, then add behind the poinsettias using 3D glue gel.
7 Stamp the bow from the Candy Cane stamp and die set twice using the clear embossing inkpad and heat-emboss using Metallic Silver Superfine embossing powder. Die-cut one using the coordinating die, then cut out the other but trim away the tails of the bow. Infill each of the sections on the bows using Dries-clear glue and cover in Ocean Paradise Sparkelicious glitter. Layer together and then onto the card using 3D glue gel. Add a bling stone to the centre. Finally, add three pearls to the opposite corners.
I hope you've enjoyed making this fabulous card and are looking forward to day eight's creation!
