INSTRUCTIONS:
1 Trim a sheet of gold mirror card down to size and affix to the base card. From the 8x8” Decorative Squares die set, cut the first two dies in white card and glitter around the outside edges with Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter. Matt and layer on top of each panel squares of gold mirror card and patterned paper from the Gilded Christmas paper pad. Glitter around the four sides of the patterned matts with Starlight Sparkelicious glitter and secure each layer to the base card with foam pads.
2 Die-cut the main Floral Merry Christmas design in white card and then die-cut the Merry Christmas sentiment about four or five times in white card and once in gold mirror card. Adhere all the die-cuts together using Art Glitter glue.
3 Find an oval die from the Basic Oval die set to fit the Floral Merry Christmas piece. Cover a sheet of white card with the double-sided sticky sheet and die-cut. Remove the top, place the Floral Merry Christmas piece on top so it adheres and then cover with Champagne Shimmer Sparkelicious glitter. Matt and layer onto a gold mirror card oval die-cut panel and secure onto the base card with foam pads.
4 Secure the bow and 12mm Sparkles in place at the top of the Merry Christmas panel, as shown, and then affix jewels from the Festive Fancies Bling Box to finish.
