2 Die-cut two fancy squares from Rose Quartz and Crystal White pearl card and edge with Glass Slipper glitter, then affix to the card using foam pads. Die-cut another from patterned paper and affix to the card using dries-clear glue. Die-cut two more, one from Crystal White pearl card (edging it with glitter), and another from Azalea pearl card. Stamp out the verse into the centre of the Azalea panel using a clear embossing inkpad, then heat-emboss using Opaque Bright White embossing powder. Affix to the card using foam pads.
3 Emboss two sheets of butterfly vellum and die-cut using the coordinating dies. Apply glue to the centres of the wings and cover in Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter. Once dry, pull up the wings and affix two of each together. Affix to the card using 3D glue gel. Stamp out the larger butterflies onto heat-resistant acetate using a clear embossing inkpad and heat-emboss using Sparkling Snow embossing powder. Trim around and affix to the butterflies to the card using 3D glue gel. Affix some crystals to each of the butterflies. To finish, add three crystals to the top-right and bottom-left corners of the card.
