Step 1: Die cut the 5th largest picot square on clear parchment paper using the Nested Squares Picot dies. Emboss the double square outlines from the corresponding Nested Picot Squares Groovi plate using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool).

Step 2: Emboss a hill from the Mountains and Hills plate in the Deluxe Groovi Plate Starter Kit using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool).

Step 3: Emboss the trees from the Christmas Tree Parchlet plate in the Tina's Christmas Parchlets Collection using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool).

Step 4: Emboss a tree on either side of the above step.

Step 5: Emboss the letters, starting with the last letter, from the Plate Mate in the Deluxe Groovi Plate Starter Kit using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool).


Step 6: Emboss 3 'strings' for the baubles from the Christmas Tree Parchlet plate in the Tina's Christmas Parchlets Collection using the  Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool).

Step 7: Emboss 3 circles at the end of the strings from the Christmas Tree Parchlet plate in the Tina's Christmas Parchlets Collection using the  Groovi No.2 tool (or Pergamano 1.5mm embossing ball tool).

Step 8: Emboss circles and scallops bellow the hill from the Christmas Snowflake Parchlet plate in the Tina's Christmas Parchlets Collection using the Groovi No.2 tool (or Pergamano 1.5mm embossing ball tool) for the circles and the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool). You will need to move the parchment following the curve if the hill.


Step 9: Emboss the words 'Joy & Hope' from the Plate Mate in the Deluxe Groovi Plate Starter Kit using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool).

Step 12: Still working on the back, colour the panel using the Perga Liner B pencils.

Step 13: Blend the colours using a little Dorso oil on a sponge and a blending nib. Use a different nib for each colour if possible. If you have too much oil on your nib, the colour will come off, so blot off the excess on a piece of kitchen towel. If you have too little oil, the blending will not be smooth, so touch just the very tip of the nib on the Dorso oil for the tiniest amount of oil.

Step 14: Once the oil has evaporated and the work is completely dry, on the back, colour the flowers, leaves, circles in the panel and scallops with Perga Colours Exclusive pens.

To Finish: Add as much or as little (or none) Perga glitter as you wish.
Using the Nested Squares Picot Diescut the 4th largest picot square on clear parchment and black card.
Mount the coloured parchment piece on the clear parchment and black card using brads.
Stick this on folded white card..


This one is in monotone coloured on the back with only the black Perga Liner B pencil instead of a couple of colours and blended with Dorso oil.

The original Henna Corners Groovi plates were larger A4 square plates. Here is a comparison of the same card design using the 2 different size plates. The smaller card has been made using the smaller A5 square plates on the clear parchment as per the step by steps above. The larger card has been made using the larger A4 square plates on the rainbow parchment.

The next couple of photos are the 2 sides of a hanging ornament for my Christmas tree. It has been made using both the large and the small Henna Corners 1 Groovi plates.

NOTE: 
All the embossing on this project is done on the back.
The colouring on this project is done on the back.
All the perforating and cutting on this project are done from the front.

Step 1: On rainbow parchment (I have used Lavender Fields), with the glossy brighter side facing up (this is the back of the work), emboss the 4th largest square from the Nested Squares Groovi plate in the Deluxe Groovi Plate Starter Kit using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool).

Step 2: In the corner, emboss the floral corner from the Floral Swirls & Corners 2 Groovi plate using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool).

Step 3: In the opposite corner, emboss the floral corner from the Floral Swirls & Corners 1 Groovi plate using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool).

Step 4: On either side of the embossed corner design, emboss the part of the floral corner from the Floral Swirls & Corners 1 Groovi plate - the smallest circles using the Groovi No.2 tool (or Pergamano 1.5mm embossing ball tool) and the rest of the line art using the  Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool).

Step 5: Outside the square, in the corners, emboss part of the smallest flower from the 3D Flowers & Butterflies Groovi plate - the circles in the petals using the Groovi No.2 tool (or Pergamano 1.5mm embossing ball tool) and the rest of the line art using the  Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool).

Step 6: On separate pieces of parchment paper emboss the 3D elements from the 3D Flowers & Butterflies - 1 of the smallest flower and 3 of the larger butterflies on regular parchment and 3 smaller butterflies on rainbow parchment.

Step 7: Using the Groovi No.3 and No.4 tools (or Pergamano 1.5mm and 3mm embossing ball tools) gently emboss inside the circles starting with the largest ball tool and remembering to let the parchment rest between layers. I have embossed 4 layers on these circles.

Step 8: Still working on the back, colour using Perga Colours Exclusive pens.

Step 9:  From the front, over the super foam, using Pergamano bold 2-needle perforating tool, perforate outside the main parchment piece and all the 3D elements.

Step 10: Picot cut between all the perforations making sure the scissors are over the waste when you cut.

To Finish: Add as much or as little (or none) Perga glitter as you wish.
Cut a square from corresponding Rainbow Paper that is slightly larger than the parchment piece.
Mount the rainbow parchment and 3D flower on the rainbow paper using brads.
Stick this on folded white card and stick the 3D butterflies on the card using a teeny tiny amount of Perga Glue on the back of the butterfly bodies.

The original Floral Swirls & Corners Groovi plates were larger A4 square plates. Here is a comparison of the same card design using the 2 different size plates. The smaller card has been made using the smaller A5 square plates on the rainbow parchment as per the step by steps above. The larger card has been made using the larger A4 square plates on the clear parchment.
