INSTRUCTIONS:
1 Place the top of the largest die from the Fancy Rectangle die set just over the score line of the base card and die-cut. Using the same die, cut a single matt from white card and affix to the main card. Cut two matts in red mirror card and patterned paper, cover the edges of the patterned paper panel with Salted Caramel Sparkelicious glitter, then secure each layer onto the main card with foam pads.
2 From the Oval die set, cut two different-sized ovals in white card and Jupiter pearl card. Go around the edges of the white panel with Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter and Salted Caramel glitter for the Jupiter panel. Matt and layer together and secure onto the main card with foam pads.
3 Stamp, heat-emboss, and die-cut the bouquet image using Earthtone Olive embossing powder onto white card. Colour the foliage with marker pens, cover with Crystallina and Dulce de Leche Sparkelicious glitters, and decorate with pearls from the Frosty Christmas Bling Box. Affix to the main card with 3D glue gel.
4 Die-cut the poinsettia numerous times using white card, then colour with Festive Berries Oxide ink and accent with Dulce de Leche Sparkelicious glitter. Shape the petals and adhere together using 3D glue gel. Secure a pearl from the Candy Pearl Box in the middle of each flower.
5 Stamp, heat-emboss, and die-cut the foliage and the Christmas rose using Earthtone Olive and Polished Gold embossing powders. Colour and glitter the foliage, as before, and decorate with pearls from the Frosty Christmas and Candy Bling Boxes. Attach jewels from the Beautiful Bouquet Bling Box to the Christmas roses. Secure the flowers and foliage onto the main card using 3D glue gel.
6 Cover a sheet of white card with the A4 double-sided sticky sheet. Die-cut the bow, remove the top and cover with Dulce de Leche Sparkelicious glitter. Assemble the bow together and secure onto the base card with foam pads. To finish, stamp, heat-emboss, and die-cut the sentiment and secure onto the card.
