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 3rd largest picot oval on clear parchment paper using the Nested Ovals Picot dies. Emboss the double square outlines from the corresponding Nested Picot Ovals Groovi plate using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool).
Step 2: In the centre of the oval, emboss the circles from the Christmas Rose plate using the Groovi No.2 tool (or Pergamano 1.5mm embossing ball tool).
Step 3: Emboss the rest of the floral line art using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool).
Step 4: Emboss 3 stars from the Christmas Centrepiece plate using the Groovi No.2 tool (or Pergamano 1.5mm embossing ball tool) for the little circles and and the rest of the line art with the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool).
Step 5: Inside the diamond shape, emboss the dots from one of the patterns on Josie's Diagonal Embossed Patterns 2 plate using the Groovi No.2 tool (or Pergamano 1.5mm embossing ball tool).
Step 6: Using the Groovi No.2, 3 & 4 tools (or Pergamano 1mm, 1.5mm and 3mm embossing ball tools) gently emboss inside the little circles starting with the largest ball tool and remembering to let the parchment rest between layers.
Step 7: Still working on the back, colour the floral design, circles and diamond using the pink Dorso crayon for the flowers and Perga Liner B pencils for the rest of the design.
Blend the colours using a little Dorso oil 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 8: Colour between the oval outlines using Perga Colours Exclusive pens.
Step 9: Die cut the 2nd largest picot square on rainbow parchment (I have used rose garden) using the Nested Squares Picot dies.
With the glossy brighter side facing up (this is the back of the work) emboss the framework and the horizontal and vertical lines from Christmas Centrepiece plate using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool).
Step 10: Colour between the square outlines using Perga Colours Exclusive pens.
To Finish: Add as much or as little (or none) Perga glitter as you wish.
Cut squares from the corresponding rainbow paper, white card and companion paper (I have used one from Amazonia).
Mount the parchment pieces using brads and stick this on folded white card.

Sending everyone STAY SAFE WISHES sprinkled with PERGA GLITTER. Take care.
Lots of Love, Hugs and Laughter
