3 Die-cut fancy squares from Mars pearl card, patterned paper, gold mirror card and white card, matt and layer, and affix to the card blank using foam pads.

4 Stamp the wine bottle and glass onto white card using a black inkpad and heat-emboss using Clear Gloss embossing powder. Colour in using alcohol markers and die-cut using the coordinating dies. Affix to the card using foam pads.

5 Stamp out the sentiment from the Star Circle set onto white card using a clear embossing inkpad and heat-emboss using Polished Gold embossing powder. Trim into a banner shape and tuck in behind the wine glass.

6 Die-cut the little tag from white card, stamp out the sentiment using a clear embossing inkpad, and heat-emboss using Polished Gold embossing powder. Affix to the stem of the wine glass, then attach a little bow to the top of the tag.
