2 Cover a sheet of Crystal White pearl card with the A4 self-adhesive sheet and run through your die-cutting machine with the largest die from the 8x8” Snowflake Oval die set. Remove the protective backing from the adhesive sheet and cover with Silver Crystal Sparkelicious glitter.
3 Die-cut another sheet of Crystal White pearl card using the second-largest die from the Snowflake Oval die set then die-cut this panel again using the On the Edge Poinsettias die, taping the die in place with low-tack tape to keep it in the centre. Add Silver Frost Sparkelicious glitter to the holly leaves and Crystal Crush Sparkelicious glitter to the flower petals using dries-clear adhesive. Affix Sparklers to the centre of each flower. Affix to the glittered panel using foam pads and then matt and layer both onto the card front at an angle, as shown.
4 Stamp the sentiment from the Winter Wonderland Tree Border stamp and die set onto Crystal White pearl card using the clear embossing inkpad. Cover with Polished Silver Super Fine embossing powder and heat set. Trim to 4x1¾” and edge with Crystal Crush Sparkelicious glitter. Trim silver mirror card to 4¼x2” and matt and layer together. Affix to the top left corner of the card using foam pads.
