INSTRUCTIONS:

1 Trim down three different size matts using Rose Quartz mirror card, Crystal White pearl card, and patterned paper from the Flower Power paper pad. Go around all four sides of the Crystal White panel using Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter. Matt all three together and attach the base card.

2 Using the Decorative Rectangle die set, cut numbers one and five in Rose Quartz mirror card and numbers two and six in patterned paper from the Flower Power paper pad. Matt and layer the largest patterned die-cut panel onto Crystal White pearl card, glittering the four sides beforehand, then affix to the largest Decorative Rectangle die-cut panel and secure to the base card with foam pads. Stamp and heat-emboss the sentiment from the Relatives stamp set onto the smallest patterned die-cut panel using Metallic Silver embossing powder. Affix to the small Decorative Rectangle die-cut panel and secure to the base card with foam pads.

3 For the foliage, cover a sheet of Lagoon Pearl card with an A4 double-sided sticky sheet. Die-cut the Leafy Foliage, remove the top of the sticky sheet, and cover with Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter. For the Berry Foliage, repeat this process but use Crystal White pearl card instead, attaching the pearls from the Leafy Lace Bling Box onto this foliage using Art Glitter PVA glue.

4 Using the Floral Flutter Flower die set, die-cut the lacey petals from the Pastel Sorbet A4 paper pad and cover with Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter. Die-cut the full flowers numerous times in the same-coloured paper as before. Shape and mould the petals of the full flowers and adhere together with Pinflair glue gel. For the top petals, glue the lacey and full petals together using Art Glitter glue. Die-cut the stamens in Rose Quartz mirror card, cover with Mexican Sunrise Sparkelicious glitter and attach to the middle of each flower along with a 10mm or 12 mm Sparkler. Arrange the flowers and foliage onto the base card and secure in place with Pinflair glue gel.
