3 Stamp out ‘happy birthday’ onto white pearl card using a clear embossing inkpad and heat-emboss with Purple Cosmos embossing powder. Die-cut using the coordinating die and affix to the card using foam pads.
4 Cut and emboss three large, six medium and six small flowers from Amethyst pearl card. Shape the petals by creating a valley fold down the centre. Apply dots of dries-clear glue to the centres of all the flowers and cover in Lilac Frost Sparkelicious glitter. Layer together and affix to the card using 3D glue gel. Add a Sparkler or pearl to the centre of each of the flowers.
