INSTRUCTIONS:

1 Create a scalloped card base using the largest die from the Pierced and Scalloped Squares die set. Remember to overhang the die slightly over the spine to not cut the card blank in two. Using the same die, cut a sheet of Rose Quartz pearl card, edge with Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter, and affix to the card base using foam pads. Trim a sheet of Crystal White pearl card to 7¼” square, edge with Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter, and affix to the card front using foam pads.

2 Trim Rose Quartz pearl card to 6¾” square, then, using the clear embossing inkpad and the Swirl Background stamp, cover with Sparkling Snow embossing glitter and heat set. Repeat this process on the other half of the card. Edge with Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter and affix to the card front using foam pads.

3 Using the fifth-largest Pierced and Scalloped Oval die, cut a piece of Crystal White pearl card, edge with Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter and affix to the centre of the card front using foam pads. 

4 Die-cut a piece of Rose Quartz pearl card using the largest solid butterfly die from the Butterfly Dreams stamp and die set. Die-cut Crystal White pearl card using the same die, then run the white layer through the die-cutting machine again using the corresponding filigree die. Cover the filigree butterfly with Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter using Chloe’s Chisel-Tip Glue Pen and then matt and layer onto the solid pink butterfly using dries-clear adhesive. Add pink pearls to the centre of the butterfly from the Candy Pearl Box and affix to the card front, as shown, using 3D glue gel.

5 Using the solid dies from the Elegant Flowers die set, die-cut four large and four medium flowers from Rose Quartz pearl paper. Using the filigree dies from the same set, cut four large and four medium filigree flowers. Cover the filigree flowers with Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter using Chloe’s Chisel Tip Glue Pen and layer up the flowers using 3D glue gel to give you two large and two medium flowers, as shown. Add a 12mm Sparkler to the centre of each large flower and a 10mm Sparkler to the centre of each medium flower. Affix the flowers to the card front, as shown, using 3D glue gel.

6 Fussy cut four fronds from the silver-foiled acetate. Add dots of dries-clear adhesive along the length of each frond and sprinkle with Chunky Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter. Once dry, affix to the card by tucking under each side of the flowers using 3D glue gel.

7 Using the two foliage dies from the Fabulous Floral Frame stamp and die set, die-cut four of the larger branches and three of the smaller branches from Crystal White pearl card. Arrange the foliage around the flowers and affix using 3D glue gel. 

8 Die-cut the banner die from the Filigree Butterfly stamp and die set from Rose Quartz pearl card. Stamp ‘Just for you’ using the sentiment stamp from the same set and a clear embossing inkpad. Cover with Opaque Bright White Superfine embossing powder and heat set. Affix to the top-left corner of the card using foam pads. Add Sparkling Silvers Self-Adhesive Sparkles to finish.
