INSTRUCTIONS:
1 Trim a sheet of pink patterned paper from the Pretty Peonies paper pad to 7¾” square, edge with Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter, and affix to the card blank using foam pads. Using the second-largest Decorative Squares die, cut a panel from Azalea matt mirror card and attach to the card front using foam pads. Trim a sheet of Crystal White pearl card to 6¾” square, edge with Crystallina glitter, and affix to the card front using foam pads. Trim a piece of patterned paper to 6½” square. Wrap a length of pink ribbon around the centre and secure on the reverse. Matt and layer onto the card front with foam pads. Die-cut a sheet of Azalea matt mirror card using the second-largest Decorative Oval die and affix to the card front with foam pads.
2 Die-cut a sheet of smooth white card using the tenth-largest die from the Basic Ovals die set. Stamp the peony image onto the oval using the black inkpad, cover with Clear Gloss Super Fine embossing powder and heat set. Colour the peonies using the pink marker pen and then add Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter using the dries-clear adhesive. Using the fine-tip glue pen, glitter the stems with Stardust Sparkelicious glitter and the leaves with Glass Slipper glitter. Edge the oval with Crystallina glitter and affix to the card front using foam pads.

Affix some diamanté crystals to the centre of the butterfly and affix it to the card front, as shown, using dries-clear adhesive.

5 Affix three pearls from the Candy Pearl Box to the top-left and bottom-right corners of the card. Add some small diamanté crystals to the top image, as shown.
