Step-by-step instructions

1. Score a 13″ x 7 ¼″ piece of white cardstock in half to create a 6 ½″ x 7 ¼″ card base.
2. Mat a 6 1/8″ x 6 7/8″ piece of patterned paper (using the reverse of one of the sheets in the 12″ x 12″ pad) onto a 6 ¼″ x 7″ piece of black cardstock and then onto a 6 3/8″ x 7 1/8″ piece of pink linen cardstock. Glue to the card base.
3. Mat a 5 5/8″ x 4 7/8″ piece of patterned paper (using one of the sheets in the 6″ x 6″ pad) onto a 5 ¾″ x 5″ piece of black cardstock and then onto a 5 7/8″ x 5 1/8″ piece of pink linen cardstock.
4. Die-cut the Crystal Ball (using both dies in the set) from white cardstock and apply Gilding Wax to the embossed areas. Die-cut the outer die only from black and white cardstock to give 2 solid outline shapes. On the white die-cut, trim the bottom away to leave only a circle.
5. Stamp the flowers from the Floral Visions Stamp Set onto the white die-cut circle and colour using TriBlend Brush Pens. Glue behind the gilded die-cut Crystal Ball and then drop-shadow the black die-cut behind. Adhere to the layered panel created in step 3.
6. Cut a piece of acetate to 6 ½″ x 5 7/8″ and score at ½″ and 6″. Bend into a dome shape and wrap around the topper, adhering together using red-liner tape onto the 2 scored sections. Attach to the card base using foam tape.
7. Stamp your chosen sentiments onto white cardstock and mat onto slightly larger pieces of black cardstock. Gently curve both sentiments and adhere to the top and bottom of the acetate dome using red-liner tape.
