from Bugaboo

(One of our sponsors)

To begin with I used a Large 20cm Square White Card

(stash)

I then cut out the 2 Squares with the Flowers 

on from 1 of the Images.

And rounded the Corners with 10mm Corner Punch

(X-Cut)

I cut around the edge of the Image with a 1.5cm Border,

Then I used a Flower Patch Corner Punch 

(Martha Stewart)

and along the Edges I used Daisy Lace Edge Border Punch

(Martha Stewart).

I then covered them in Iridescent Glitter Glue

(Glitz It)

to make them Sparkle

Along the Lines in the Image I covered them with

Holographic Silver Strip Peel-Offs

(stash)

For each of the Squares I added something different

For the 1st one I added Iridescent Yellow Glitter

(Glitter Magic)

to the Center of the Daisy.

and around the Edge I used Tinsel Silver Embossing Powder

(WOW)

For the Second Flower Square I again used 

the Tinsel Silver Embossing Powder

around the edges.

And in the center of the Poppy I used 

Holographic Black Glitter

(Glitter Magic).

For the 2 Squares with Writing I added

Holographic Black Glitter to them.

And for the one with the Bubbles on I added 

Holographic Silver to them

(Glitter Magic)

Once I had done this I backed it on to a 

Sheet of Grey Marbled Parchment Paper

(gifted to me)

and I then left it as a 'loose page'

in the Card.

Along the Left Edge I added a 1cm White Holographic Ribbon

(Boyes Haberdashery)

using the same Ribbon I Handmade a Bow

which I finished off with a Red Square Gem Brad

(stash).

To finish off I added 
2 x 1omm Crystal Dotted Rhinestones

and 4 x 5mm Red Dotted Rhinestones

(stash)

to the Corners.
