INSTRUCTIONS:

1 Die-cut a scalloped square from an 8x8” card blank to create a shaped card. Cut the same scalloped square from white cardstock and patterned paper. Matt and layer the two panels to the card blank. Die-cut a slightly smaller square from white card, edge with a chisel-tip glue pen and cover in Crystal Crush Sparkelicious glitter. Affix to the card using foam pads. Die-cut a square from patterned paper and affix to the card using dries-clear glue.

2 Die-cut two more square panels from white card, edge one with Crystal Crush Sparkelicious glitter and emboss the other using the Trellis Background embossing folder. Adhere together using dries-clear glue and affix to the card using foam pads. Die-cut two scalloped ovals from white card and edge with a chisel-tip glue pen and cover in Crystal Crush Sparkelicious glitter. Die-cut a pierced circle from patterned paper. Layer all three onto the card using foam pads.

3 Stamp ‘wishing you an’ and ‘day’ onto white card using a clear embossing inkpad and heat-emboss using Metallic Silver Superfine embossing powder. Trim around and affix to the card using foam pads. Die-cut the word ‘amazing’ from white card and stamp out the coordinating word using a clear embossing inkpad and heat-emboss using Metallic Silver Superfine embossing powder. Affix to the card using foam pads.

4 Take a sheet of purple flowers and a sheet of pink flowers from the vellum pad and the coordinating stamps. Stamp out onto each of the flowers using clear embossing inkpad and heat-emboss using Opaque Bright White embossing powder. Shape the petals by curling them. Apply dots of glue to each of the petals and cover in Chunky Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter. Affix to the card using 3D glue gel. Die-cut a couple of stamens from white card and add to the centre of the larger flowers. Add a sparkler to the centre of each of the flowers.

5 Stamp out some of the leafy foliage using a Morning Mist Versafine inkpad onto white card. Sprinkle over Clear Gloss embossing powder and heat-emboss. Colour in the leaves using green alcohol makers, then die-cut using the coordinating die. Carefully tuck in behind the flowers using 3D glue gel.

6 Stamp out some of the spray foliage onto white card using a Morning Mist Versafine inkpad. Sprinkle over Clear Gloss embossing powder and heat set. Ink over using Kitsch Flamingo and Shaded Lilac Oxide ink. Apply dots of glue and cover in Crystal Crush Sparkelicious glitter. Once dry, carefully tuck in behind the flowers. To finish, add three crystals to the corners.
