INSTRUCTIONS:

1 Trim Lagoon mirror card down and attach to the base card. Die-cut the largest die from the Decorative Square die set in Crystal White pearl card and edge the four sides with Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter. Die-cut the sixth die from the Basic Square die set in Lagoon mirror card and attach to the Decorative Square die-cut piece. 

2 Die-cut the floral panel from the set four times in Crystal White pearl card. Die-cut each one into a small square using die number 20 from the Basic Square die set and colour with the Oxide inks.

3 Place an A4 double-sided sticky sheet onto Crystal White pearl card and die-cut four small squares using the same die as before. Remove the cover from each one and secure the coloured Floral Panel die-cuts onto the top of each one. Sprinkle Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter over all four and attach to the first layer on the base card using double-sided tape.

4 Die-cut the second largest die from the Decorative Circle Frame die set in Crystal White pearl card. Glitter around the outside of the circle using Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter, matt and layer on top a circle that has been cut with the twelfth die from the Basic Circle die set. Cover a sheet of white card with the A4 double-sided sticky sheet, cut with 13^th die from the same set. Die-cut the Floral Panel die from the set three times, then colour one in fully using the Oxide Inks. Remove the cover from the white die-cut piece and secure the coloured panel on top. Sprinkle Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter all over, making sure all sticky bits have been covered with glitter. Turn this over and snip off any bits that are over hanging the circle. Secure onto the topper and attach to the base card with foam pads.

5 Using the other two Floral Panel die-cuts, colour the parts you wish to 3D (i.e. not the foliage) on the second layer and for the third layer, colour just some of the flowers. Attach the parts to the main image with Pinflair glue and glitter the middle of the flowers using Lemon Sherbet Sparkelicious glitter.

6 Stamp, heat-emboss and die-cut the sentiment from the Tiny Tags and Sentiment Plaque stamp and die set using Broken China Oxide ink and Clear Gloss embossing powder. Matt and layer onto a Lagoon mirror card die-cut panel and secure onto the base card. Finally secure the bow and jewel in place using Pinflair glue.
