Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening. Here is another fun piece I created using the Butterfly Petites Collections. It is a fairly simple one as only the little circles have been embossed and there is no picot cutting. Of course, you could do more if you wish and it will look very pretty. I just wanted to de-stress with mostly just line art and colouring.
Groovi Plates:
Deluxe Groovi Plate Starter Kit + Butterfly Wreath A5 Square Plate GRO-SK-40709-XX
Nested Squares Picot Cut Die Set & Groovi Plate ACC-DI-30698-66
Tina's Butterfly Petites Collection A6 Square Groovi Baby Plate Set GRO-AN-41151-01

NOTE:
All the embossing on this project is done on the back.
The colouring on this project is done on the back.
Step 1: Die cut the 5th largest nested picot square on rainbow parchment paper (I've used California Sunset) using the Nested Squares Picot dies. Before cutting, make sure you have placed the die with the cutting side down on the softer matt side facing up of the rainbow parchment.
With the glossy brighter side facing up (this is the back of the work), emboss the double square outlines from the Butterfly Mariposa plate in the Tina's Butterfly Petites Collection using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool).
Step 2: In the centre, emboss the butterfly wreath from the Butterfly Schmetterling plate in the Tina's Butterfly Petites Collection - the 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 3: From the Butterfly Schmetterling plate in the Tina's Butterfly Petites Collection, emboss the floral corner design - the 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).
Repeat in the other 3 corners.
Step 4: In the corner of the inside square, emboss part of the corner design from the Butterfly Schmetterling plate in the Tina's Butterfly Petites Collection using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool).
Repeat in the other 3 corners.
Step 5: Over the basic straight grid from the Mini Straight & Diagonal Basic Bold Piercing Grid set, emboss 5 dots extending out from the corner designs using the Groovi No.2 tool (or Pergamano 1.5mm embossing ball tool).
Repeat in the other 3 corners.
Step 6: Over the basic straight grid from the Mini Straight & Diagonal Basic Bold Piercing Grid set, using the Groovi No.2 tool (or Pergamano 1.5mm embossing ball tool), emboss dots in the butterfly wings, turning the parchment for each wing.
Repeat in the other 3 corners.
Step 7: Using the Groovi No.3 and No.4 tools (or Pergamano 1.5mm and 3mm embossing ball tools) gently emboss inside 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: On clear parchment, from the Butterfly Farfalla plate in the Tina's Butterfly Petites Collection, emboss the butterfly - the 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).
Using the Groovi No.3 (or Pergamano 1.5mm) emboss inside circles.
Cut out the butterfly (or picot cut using the 2-needle perforating tool and parchment scissors).
To Finish: Add as much or as little (or none) Perga glitter as you wish.
Using the Nested Squares Picot Dies, cut the 4th largest nested picot squares from corresponding rainbow paper.
Mount the rainbow parchment piece on the rainbow paper using brads.Stick this on folded white card.
Using the teeny tiniest amount of Perga glue on the back of the butterfly body, stick it on the card (the glue is not visible because I have Perga Glitter on the front of the butterfly body).
I hope you liked this little project. Please tag me on FB so I can see your artwork using these butterfly plates.

Lots of Love, Hugs and Laughter
