INSTRUCTIONS:

1 Trim a sheet of Lapis Lazuli pearl card to size and secure onto the base card. From the Scalloped and Pierced Square die set, cut the first and third die in white card and add Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter to the edges. Matt and layer on top of each panel a gold mirror card die-cut panel. Trim down two sheets of patterned paper from the Gilded Christmas paper pad to fit each layer. Using the Chipped Sapphire Oxide ink, blend over each patterned paper panel. Gently wipe over with a tissue to remove any excess ink, then glitter the sides of each one with Salted Caramel Sparkelicious glitter and matt onto the gold layer. Secure each matt and layered panel onto the base card, with the top layer at a jaunty angle, using foam pads.

2 Using the Large Bubble Frame die set, cut in gold mirror and white card. Cover the edges of the white panel with Salted Caramel Sparkelicious glitter, then adhere together and secure onto the main card with foam pads.

3 Stamp, heat-emboss and die-cut the main bouquet image using Lilac Slate embossing powder. Cover the foliage with Champagne Shimmer and Dulce de Leche Sparkelicious glitter, and secure onto the base card with foam pads. Stamp, heat-emboss, and die-cut the poinsettias numerous times using Polished Gold embossing powder onto white card. Colour the petals with Stormy Sky and Chipped Sapphire Oxide ink, then cover them with Champagne Shimmer Sparkelicious glitter. Shape the petals and assemble using 3D glue gel. Colour the Sparklers with a marker pen and secure in the middle of each flower, then adhere onto the base card with 3D glue gel.

4 Stamp, heat-emboss, and die-cut the foliage using the same coloured glitter as the main image. Stamp, heat-emboss, and die-cut the Christmas rose using Polished Gold embossing powder and attach a jewel from the Beautiful Bouquet Bling Box to the middle of each. Arrange the flowers and foliage onto the main card and affix with 3D glue gel.

5 Blend the Oxide inks onto white card and die-cut the bow. Cover with Champagne Shimmer glitter, then, when dry, assemble the bow and secure in position using 3D glue gel. Stamp, heat-emboss, and die-cut the sentiment, attaching to the base card to finish.
