INSTRUCTIONS:

1 Affix a gold mirror card panel to the base card. Using the Decorative Squares die set, cut the largest die from white card, then go around the four sides with Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter. Matt and layer gold mirror card and paper from the Chic Boutique paper pad, going around the sides of this patterned panel with Starlight Sparkelicious glitter beforehand. Affix the topper onto the base card with foam pads.

2 Stamp and heat-emboss the Falling Sparkles stamp onto a 145mm square of white card using Polished Gold embossing powder. Glitter the sides using Starlight Sparkelicious glitter, then matt and layer onto gold mirror card and affix to the base card with foam pads.

3 Cover a sheet of white card with the A4 double-sided sticky sheet. Die-cut with a medium-size die from the Heart die set and then emboss with the Lattice Background embossing folder. Remove the top from the sticky sheet and cover with Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter. Matt and layer onto a large heart die-cut panel using foam pads. Die-cut the large numbers in gold mirror card and secure in place onto the heart using glue gel.

4 Die-cut and emboss numerous flowers in vellum using the Flower Swirl die set and embossing folder. Colour the flowers using Antique Linen Oxide ink, then glitter with Starlight and Baked Alaska Sparkelicious glitters. When completely dry, shape the petals and adhere them with a Sparkle for the middle of each one using glue gel.

5 Stamp, heat-emboss and die-cut the Fresh Foliage using Polished Gold embossing powder. Decorate some of the foliage using Crystallina and Sunset Boulevard Sparkelicious glitter. Affix the large heart, flowers and foliage to the base card using 3D glue gel and foam pads.

6 Stamp and heat-emboss the sentiment from the Wedding Sentiment Builder stamp set onto white card. Matt and layer onto gold mirror card and affix to the base card with foam pads. Finish by decorating the background using Starlight Sparkelicious glitter.
