Cut a piece of gold mirror card slightly smaller to fit inside the frame and affix using Dries-Clear glue. Cut another piece of Mars card, slightly smaller again, and affix. Cut a piece of white pearl card, again slightly smaller, and edge using a chisel-tip glue pen. Cover in Crystal Crush Sparkelicious glitter. Affix to the card using foam pads.
3 Die-cut the oval die number 11 from gold mirror card and add to the centre of the card using foam pads. Die-cut a piece of Mars pearl card, with an adhesive sheet over the top, with oval die number 12. Peel off the protective layer and cover in Red Velvet Sparkelicious glitter. Affix to the card using foam pads.

Stamp one large and two medium of the three-petal flower and heat-emboss. Die-cut using the coordinating dies. Shape the flowers by creating mountain folds in the five-petal flowers and curling upwards for the three-petal ones. Layer together using Dries-Clear glue. Add a large pearl to the centre of each. Affix using 3D glue gel into the corners of the card.

Die-cut using coordinating dies, then colour in using alcohol markers. Add Red Velvet Sparkelicious glitter to the berries and Holly Leaves Sparkelicious glitter to the leaves.
