INSTRUCTIONS:

1 Trim a sheet of coloured paper from the Pastel Sorbet A4 pad down to size and affix to the base card. Using the first die from the Scalloped and Pierced Square die set, cut from white card and glitter with Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter. Die-cut the second die from the set from patterned paper from the Flower Power paper pad, go around the four sides of this piece with Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter, then matt and layer onto a panel of coloured paper from the Pastel Sorbet A4 paper pad. Affix to the scalloped square die-cut panel and secure in place onto the base card using foam pads. For the next layer, repeat this process, only this time using die numbers five and six from the Scalloped and Pierced Square die set.

2 For the topper, use the fifth die from the Scalloped and Pierced Oval die set to cut white card. Go around the outside with Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter and attach to the base card with foam pads. Stamp and heat-emboss the Statement Sentiment stamp onto white card with Metallic Silver embossing powder, then die-cut using the sixth die from the Scalloped and Pierced Oval die set. Go around the outside using Diamante Sparkle Sparkelicious glitter and then secure into place onto the topper.

3 For a 3D effect, stamp and heat-emboss the stamp again, concentrating on the word ‘Sunshine’. Colour with the marker pens and glitter with Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter, then fussy cut and affix to the main card using Pinflair glue. Decorate the background using Luscious Yellows Self-Adhesive Sparkles.

4 Using the Floral Flutter Flower die set and the Pastel Sorbet paper pad, die-cut the full flowers numerous times and cover with Diamante Sparkle Sparkelicious glitter. For the lacy flower, just cut one for each flower image and add Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter. Die-cut the stamens in black mirror card, cover with Diamante Sparkle Sparkelicious glitter, then secure one to each of the flower middles along with either a 10mm or 12mm Sparkle.

5 Die-cut the Leafy Foliage in black mirror card and the Berry Foliage in white card then cover with Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter. Arrange the flowers and foliage onto the card and secure in place with Pinflair glue. Stamp and heat-emboss the little bee using Versafine Clair Black ink and Clear Gloss embossing powder. Colour with the marker pens, fussy cut and affix to the card using Pinflair glue gel to finish.

I hope you've found this cheery, sunny card tutorial by Glynis informative and that it's inspired you to create your own version!
