INSTRUCTIONS:
1 Score and fold the A3 cardstock in half, using the largest die from the Rectangle die set as a guide for the size of the card. Die-cut four different-sized matts from the dies in the Rectangles set, two from gold mirror card and two from white card. Glitter around the four sides of the largest white panel using Crystal Crush Sparkelicious glitter, then matt and layer onto the large gold mirror panel and affix to the base card.
2 Emboss the smaller white panel using the Christmas Rose embossing folder. Decorate the background using assorted silver Sparkelicious glitters (always use dark coloured glitters first) and Metallic Sparkles. Go around the four sides with Silver Gilt Sparkelicious glitter, then matt and layer onto the gold die-cut panel and secure onto the base card with foam pads.
3 From the Christmas Flower Ombre vellum pad, emboss and die-cut the flowers. Glitter with Dulce de Leche Sparkelicious glitter, shape the petals, adhere together using Pinflair glue gel, then secure onto the base card.
4 Die-cut the stamens and cover with Get Down and Boogie Sparkelicious glitter. Secure to the middle of the flowers and attach a Metallic Sparkle.
5 Stamp and heat-emboss the sentiment using Polished Gold embossing powder. Matt and layer onto gold mirror card and secure in place using foam pads to finish.
