INSTRUCTIONS:
1 Trim a sheet of red mirror card down to size and adhere to the base card. From the Scalloped and Pierced Square die set, cut the two largest dies in white and red mirror card. Go around the four sides of the white panel using Crystal Crush Sparkelicious glitter, then matt and layer both panels together and affix to the main card with foam pads. Matt a panel, trimmed down from a sheet of foiled patterned paper, on top of the previous panel, then go around the sides with Snowball Sparkelicious glitter. For the next layer, repeat the previous process, only using smaller dies from the set this time, then adhere with foam pads.
2 Emboss a white card panel using the Poinsettia embossing folder, then colour the raised parts with marker pens. Glitter and decorate with assorted gold and silver glitter and jewels from the Sugared Pastels Bling Box. Dust around the four sides using Festive Berries Oxide ink and cover with Snowball Sparkelicious glitter. Matt and layer onto red mirror card and secure in place with foam pads.
3 Emboss and die-cut the flowers from the Printed Christmas Flower Ombre vellum pad. Embellish with Starlight Sparkelicious glitter, shape the petals and adhere together using 3D glue gel before securing onto the main card. Colour a 12mm Sparkler with a marker pen and attach to the middle of the poinsettias.
4 Stamp and heat-emboss the sentiment onto white cardstock using a clear embossing inkpad and Polished Gold embossing powder. Matt and layer onto red mirror card and secure in place with foam pads to finish.
