Instructions:

1. Score the light blue marbled cardstock in half to create a card sized 5” x 5”.
    
2. With the fold at the top, center and glue the darker blue marbled square to the front of the card.
    
3. Use the pattern edged scissors and cut a piece from the Pearlescent Wave cardstock. Once it has been cut, the size of the cardstock must be 4.6” x 4.6”.
    
4. Now take the piece cut from the Pearlescent Wave cardstock and cut out the inside, leaving a space of 0.5” from the outer edges of this piece to make a “frame.”
   
   
    
5. Use the 3D self-adhesive foam squares to affix the “frame” to the front of the card.
    
6. Glue the angel to the front of the card.
   
   
    
7. Choose two similar metallic puffy embossed border stickers and glue them in place at the top and bottom of the card.
    
8. Glue a rhinestone star sticker to the left and right of each of the borders.
    
9. Repeat steps 7-8 with the left and right side of the card.
   
   
    
10. Use the Pilot silver marker pen to add a silver border all round the felt angel.
