INSTRUCTIONS:

1 Score a line down the middle of the front of the base card and fold forward. Cut three panels from Azalea mirror card to fit the base card and secure in place. Using the largest die from the Scalloped and Pierced Square die set, cut twice in white card. Go around the four sides of each die-cut panel using Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter. Trim one piece down to fit the two base card panels and adhere in place, along with the one for the inside. using the second die from the same set, repeat this process, only this time using Azalea mirror card. For the third layer, use patterned paper from the Pastel Rainbow Delight paper pad. Glitter around all the sides using Silver Crystal Sparkelicious glitter and then matt and layer into place.

2 Using the Scalloped and Pierced Oval die set, cut two different sized ovals in Azalea mirror card and patterned paper. Glitter the patterned die-cut panel using Silver Crystal Sparkelicious glitter, then adhere both together and secure onto the left-hand side panel using 2mm foam pads.

3 Stamp, heat-emboss and die-cut the Flower Swirl numerous times and then the Fresh Foliage onto white card using Versafine Clair Black ink and Clear Gloss embossing powder. Colour all the stamped images with the marker pens and glitter with flowers with Rosy Glow and Silver Crystal Sparkelicious glitter. Adhere the petals together with Pinflair glue gel and secure the flowers and foliage onto the top left-hand corner of the background oval using glue gel, along with a 10mm and 12mm Sparkler in the middle of each flower.

4 Stamp, heat-emboss and die-cut the princess dress three times. For two of the dresses, colour with the marker pens halfway up. Fully colour the top one. Starting with the top dress, trim off the layers from the first wavy line. For the second dress, trim off at the second wavy line. Secure all three dresses together using 2mm foam pads. Stamp, heat-emboss and die-cut the coat hanger, then affix it to the dress and secure it down with foam pads.

5 Die-cut the small flowers from the Princess Dress stamp and die set. Cover with Pink Perfection Sparkelicious glitter and attach to the dress with glue gel. Decorate the small flowers and the dress with Pretty Pink Self-Adhesive Sparkles and Crystal Sparkelicious glitter.

6 Stamp and heat-emboss the sentiment, then matt and layer onto mirror card and secure in place, along with the small pair of shoes, with foam pads.

7 Stamp the large sentiment onto white card using the Birthday Verse Number 3 stamp set. Die-cut using a small oval die from the Scalloped and Pierced die set. Go around the edges using Silver Crystal Sparkelicious glitter. Matt and layer onto a mirror card die-cut panel and secure onto the inside of the base card to finish.
