INSTRUCTIONS:
1 Create a card blank using the largest die from the Fancy Squares 3 die set. Using the same die, cut a panel from Azalea pearl card and affix to the card blank using dries-clear adhesive. Die-cut Crystal White pearl card using the second-largest Fancy Squares 3 die. Edge with Glass Slipper Sparkelicious glitter and affix to the card front with foam pads. Die-cut a sheet of coordinating pink paper from the Pretty Peonies paper pad using the third-largest Fancy Squares 3 die. Edge with Glass Slipper Sparkelicious glitter and affix to the card front using foam pads.
2 Cover a sheet of Azalea pearl card with the double-sided adhesive sheet and die-cut using the fifth-largest Fancy Squares 3 die. Die-cut a panel from Crystal White pearl card using the same die, then die-cut into the centre the inner 6x6” Exquisite Lace Circle die, as shown. Remove the protective backing sheet from the Azalea panel and affix the white panel on top. Infill with Raspberry Pink Sparkelicious glitter and affix to the card front using foam pads.
3 Using the centre dies from the 6x6” Exquisite Lace Circle die, cut a sheet of Crystal White pearl card using the largest die, a sheet of Azalea pearl card using the second-largest die and a sheet of Crystal White pearl card using the smallest die. Stamp the sentiment onto the smallest panel using the clear embossing pad, cover with Polished Silver Super Fine embossing powder and heat-set. Matt and layer all three panels onto the centre of the card, as shown, using foam pads.
4 Die-cut four large and four medium daisies from Azalea pearl paper using the Blossoming Flower die set. Using dries-clear adhesive, cover the inner petals with Cupid Sparkelicious glitter. Layer up the flowers using glue gel with two layers per flower, as shown, and lift the inner petals up.
5 Using the Stamen die from the Blossoming Flower die set, cut two large, four medium and four small stamens from Azalea pearl card. Add Hot Pink Sparkelicious glitter to the tip of each stamen using dries-clear adhesive. Affix the stamens to the daisies to give one large, one medium and one small stamen layered into the centre of the large daisies, and one medium and one small stamen in the medium daisies. Add a Sparkler to the centre of each daisy and affix to the card front, as shown.
6 Fussy-cut four fronds from the Fabulous Foliage foiled acetate. Add dots of dries-clear adhesive to each frond and cover with Hot Pink Sparkle Sparkelicious glitter. Once dry, affix to either side of the flowers using glue gel. Add nail art gems around the Lacy Circle to finish.
