INSTRUCTIONS:

1 Create a scalloped card blank using the largest die from the Pierced and Scalloped Squares die set. Using the same die, cut a panel from Azalea mirror card and affix to the card blank using foam pads. Cut a sheet of Azalea pearl card using the second-largest die from the Pierced and Scalloped die set, edge with Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter, and attach to the card front using foam pads. Trim Crystal White pearl Card to 7” square, edge with Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter and affix to the card front using foam pads. Trim Onyx pearl card to 6¾” square, edge with Black Soot Sparkelicious glitter and affix to the card front using foam pads.

2 Die-cut a sheet of hot pink patterned paper from the Chic Boutique paper pad using the fourth-largest die from the Pierced and Scalloped Square die set, then edge with Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter. Wrap a length of hot pink ribbon around this layer and secure on the reverse using foam pads. Affix to the card front using foam pads.

3 Die-cut a sheet of Azalea mirror card using the third-largest die from the Pierced and Scalloped Rectangles die set and attach to the card front at an angle, as shown, using foam pads. Die-cut another sheet of Azalea mirror card using the fourth-largest Pierced and Scalloped Rectangles die. Edge with Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter and affix to the card front using foam pads.

4 Trim a sheet of Crystal White pearl card to 4x6”. Using the sparkles image from the Fashionable Birthday stamp set, stamp the image as a repeating pattern across the rectangle with the clear embossing inkpad then cover with Cranberry Fizz embossing powder and heat set. Edge with Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter and affix to the card front using foam pads.

5 Using the stamps from the Chic Shoes die and stamp set, stamp the shoes once and the bow twice onto smooth white card using the Versafine Clair Nocturne inkpad. Cover with Clear Gloss Super Fine embossing powder and heat set. Die-cut the shoes and both bows using the corresponding dies from the same set. Using the pink marker pen, colour the inside of each shoe, excluding the soles. Colour the soles and heels using the black marker pen. Add Black Soot Sparkelicious glitter to the soles using dries-clear adhesive. Cover the entire outer area of each shoe with Raspberry Pink Sparkelicious glitter using dries-clear adhesive. Add Ranger Glossy Accents to the black heels and set aside to dry. Colour the bows with the black marker pen and cover with Midnight Sky Sparkelicious glitter. Add a Sparkler to the centre of each bow and affix to the back of the shoes using glue gel. Affix the shoes to the card front, as shown, using glue gel.

6 Stamp the sentiment onto smooth white card using a Versafine Clair Nocturne inkpad. Trim the card to fit and then matt and layer onto Azalea pearl card. Edge both with Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter and affix to the top right of the card at an angle, as shown, using foam pads.

7 Using the same hot pink ribbon from before, tie a bow and affix it to the left-centre of the card, as shown, using glue gel. Add a Sparkler or rhinestone to the centre of the bow using glue gel to finish.
