Die-cut a slightly smaller square from patterned paper and affix to the card using dries-clear glue.
2 Emboss two sheets of blue, orange and pink vellum flowers using the matching embossing folder and then die-cut using the matching die. Shape by creating a valley fold down the centre. Layer two of each of the flowers together using a foam pad.
3 Stamp out two large, two medium and two small flowers onto heat-resistant acetate using a clear embossing inkpad and then heat-emboss using Opaque Bright White embossing powder. Carefully trim around, shape, and affix to the vellum flowers using 3D glue gel. Add a sparkler to the centre of each flower.
4 Stamp out some of the leafy foliage onto white card using a clear embossing inkpad and heat-emboss using Golden Pine embossing powder. Ink over using Bundled Sage Distress Oxide ink. Die-cut using the coordinating dies. Apply dries-clear glue to the leaves and cover in Lime Zing Sparkelicious glitter. Once dry, shape each leaf by creating a valley fold down the centre. Affix the flowers and foliage to the card using 3D glue gel.
