2 Cut another sheet of Lapis Lazuli pearl card to 5¼” square. Stamp out the tree towards the left-hand side, slightly overhanging the edge, using a clear embossing inkpad. Heat-emboss using Starlit Gold embossing powder. Stamp out the verse in the top-right-hand corner with a clear embossing inkpad, then heat-emboss with Polished Gold embossing powder.
3 Apply dries-clear glue to every other line on the Christmas tree and cover with Silver Crystal Sparkelicious glitter. Draw some lines to mimic snow at the bottom of the card, and some dots around the tree using dries-clear glue, and then cover with Crystal Crush Sparkelicious glitter.
4 Add a few small rhinestones to the sentiment, then finish off by adding a Sparkler to the top of the Christmas tree.
