INSTRUCTIONS:

1 Cut three different size matts in Azalea mirror card, Crystal White pearl card (glittering around the four sides of this panel with Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter), and paper from the Summer Florals paper pad. Matt and layer the two smaller ones together, adhere to the Azalea mirror card matt using foam pads, and secure on to the base card.

2 Using the largest die from the 5x7” Decorative Rectangle die set, cut from Crystal White pearl card. Go around the outside edges with glue and Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter and adhere to the main card with foam pads.

3 Stamp and heat-emboss the Happy Birthday stamp onto white card using Metallic Silver embossing powder, then die-cut using the second die from the Decorative Rectangle die set. Matt and layer onto Azalea mirror card and secure onto the base card. Glitter the stars on the background with Lemon Sherbet Sparkelicious glitter and attach the Pretty Pinks Sparkles. Stamp and heat-emboss the stamp again only this time concentrating on the word ‘Birthday’. Colour the image using Picked Raspberry and Fossilized Amber Oxide inks and glitter with Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter. Fussy cut and secure in place with Pinflair glue gel for a 3D effect.

4 Stamp and heat-emboss the flowers from the Flower Power stamp and die set numerous times onto Crystal White pearl card using the Bright White embossing powder. Die-cut using the coordinating dies, but before removing from the die, colour using the Oxide inks, as this gives the flowers a white edge. Shape and adhere the flowers together.

5 Die-cut the stamens in Azalea mirror card and cover first with Art Glitter glue and then Rosy Glow Sparkelicious glitter. When dry, adhere to the middle of each flower along with a pearl from the Candy Bling Box. Die-cut the Leafy Foliage in Azalea mirror card and secure the flowers and foliage to the base card with Pinflair glue gel. Adhere pearls from the Bling Box to the bottom layer on the base card to finish.
