INSTRUCTIONS:
1 Place the top of the largest die from the Gilded Rectangle die set just over the fold on the base card and pass through the die-cutting machine. Using the same die, cut a single panel in white card. Glitter the debossed lines using a Quickie glue pen and Deep Pink Sparkelicious glitter. When dry, adhere to the main card. So that the card stands up correctly, just trim a small amount off the bottom on the back of the card on the curve.
2 Using the other dies from the Gilded Rectangles set, cut in Azalea Mirror card and patterned paper from the Pretty Peonies paper pad. Go around the edge of the patterned panel using Diamante Sparkle Sparkelicious glitter, then matt and layer and secure onto the main card with foam pads. For the next layer, repeat this process using smaller dies.
3 Cut two circles from the Basic Circles die set in Azalea mirror card and white card. Stamp and heat-emboss part of the sentiment from the Amazing, Beautiful, Lovely Sentiment Builder stamp and die set using black ink and Clear Gloss embossing powder onto the white circular panel. Go around the edges using Diamante Sparkle Sparkelicious glitter, then matt and layer both circles together and secure onto the base card with foam pads.
4 Die-cut the word ‘Amazing’ in white card and the coordinating outline die in mirror card. Cover the white die-cut word with Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter then matt and layer both together and secure in place with foam pads.
5 Stamp, heat-emboss and die-cut the butterflies twice from the Delightful Butterflies set onto white card. Colour with the marker pens, glitter with Pink Perfection Sparkelicious glitter, and decorate with Pretty Pink sparkles. Adhere together with 3D glue gel and secure onto the base card. Die-cut the small butterfly from the Tiny Butterflies die set in Azalea mirror card and white card, then colour with a pink marker pen and glitter with Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter. Adhere together and secure onto the main card. Decorate the corner of the bottom layer using jewels from the Sugared Pastels Bling Box. Finally, decorate the circular panel with Diamante Sparkle Sparkelicious glitter and small pink jewels.
