INSTRUCTIONS:

1 Attach a panel of Vista mirror card to the base card. Using the Scalloped and Pierced Square die set, cut die number one in white card and go around the four sides using Crystal Crush Sparkelicious glitter. Die-cut the second die in the set using printed paper from the Fabulous Florals and Flutter paper pad, then matt and layer onto Vista mirror card. Adhere to the scalloped die-cut panel and secure onto the base card with foam pads.

2 Die-cut the fourth die from the set in Vista mirror card, the fifth die in white card (going around the edges with Crystal Crush Sparkelicious glitter), and the sixth die in printed paper from the pad, glittering around the edges of this panel as well. Matt and layer the three panels together and secure onto the main card with foam pads. Using the sixth die again, cut in Vista mirror card, matt and layer onto a panel of paper from the Pastel Sorbet pad, and secure in place with foam pads.

3 Floral Frame stamp and die set onto white card using the Morning Mist ink and Clear Gloss embossing powder. Colour with the assorted marker pens and apply different Sparkelicious glitters, then secure onto the main card with foam pads.

4 Stamp and heat-emboss the Floral Frame twice more. For the first image, snip all the bottom foliage away, leaving the flowers attached to the circle. Colour and glitter as before then attach to the main image with foam pads. Die-cut the foliage from the stamp and die set, cover with Lime Zing Sparkelicious glitter, and secure in place with Pinflair glue gel. For the last image, colour, glitter, and snip out the flowers from the circle, then secure onto the main image with Pinflair glue gel. Affix a pearl from the Chloe’s Favourites Bling Box to the middle of each of the flowers and to the corners of the background topper.

5 Stamp and heat-emboss the sentiment, die-cut using a circle from the Basic Circle die set, and affix to the middle of the main stamped image to finish.
