INSTRUCTIONS:
1 Place the top of the largest die from the Dainty Squares die set just over the fold of a card blank and cut. Using the same die, cut a panel from white card and secure on top of the main card. Cut the next die from the set from white card. Colour the edges with Dried Marigold Oxide ink, embellish with Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter, and secure onto the base card with foam pads. Trim a sheet of patterned paper from the Baby paper pad and affix on top.
2 Using the Dainty Rectangle die set, cut the bottom panel in white card, the next also in white card, but colour and glitter as before, and a sheet of patterned paper from the Baby paper pad. Matt and layer the three panels together and secure onto the main card. From the Dainty Circle die set, cut a medium-sized circle in white card, colour around the edges with the Oxide inkpad, embellish with Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter, and secure in place. Die-cut a white circle, emboss using the Baby Footprints embossing folder and cover the raised footprints with Pink Perfection Sparkelicious glitter. When dry, secure onto the base card.
3 Stamp, heat-emboss and die-cut the bunny and flowers from the Bunny stamp and die set using the black inkpad and Clear Gloss embossing powder. Colour with the marker pens, cover the bunny’s ears and pads with Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter, apply Glossy Accents to the eyes, then affix with 3D glue gel. Cover the flowers with Pink Perfection Sparkelicious glitter and secure in place with 3D glue gel and affix the small pink bows.
4 Stamp and heat-emboss the small sentiment from the Baby Sentiment Builder stamp and die set onto white card using the clear embossing inkpad and Polished Silver embossing powder. Colour small pieces of white card using Kitsch Flamingo Oxide ink, cover with Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter and secure the stamped sentiments on top and affix to the base card with foam pads.
5 Using the same set, colour white card, cover with the double-sided sticky sheet and die-cut the ‘Little One’ outline die. Cut the words in silver mirror card, remove the top of the sticky sheet, attach the words, and cover with Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter. Secure onto the base card.
6 Decorate the background with pearls from the Candy Cane Lane Bling Box and attach the large bow and jewel using 3D glue gel to finish.
