Tina's Small Christmas Elements A5 Square Groovi Plate Set
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: 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 on 3 of the sides using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool).
Step 2: In the top left corner, emboss the corner design from the Christmas Presents and Holly plate using the Groovi No.2 tool (or Pergamano 1.5mm embossing ball tool) for the little circles and the tear drop shapes in the holly leaves.
Step 3: Emboss the rest of the line art using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool).
Step 4: Emboss a selection of baubles from the Christmas Baubles plate using the Groovi No.2 tool (or Pergamano 1.5mm embossing ball tool) for the elements you want to emboss white and the rest of the line art using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool).
Step 5: Using the Groovi No.2, 3 & 4 tools (or Pergamano 1mm, 1.5mm and 3mm embossing ball tools) gently emboss inside the elements that had been embossed using the Groovi No.2 tool starting with the largest ball tool and remembering to let the parchment rest between layers.
Step 6: Still working on the back, colour using Perga Colours Exclusive pens.
Step 7: Colour in the design elements using the Perga Liner B pencils.
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)
To Finish: Add as much or as little (or none) Perga glitter as you wish.
Cut squares from companion papers (I have used Amazonia) and white card and companion paper using Nested Squares Picot Dies.
Mount the parchment pieces on the die cut squares using brads and stick this on folded white card.
Groovi plates and ingredients are available on https://claritycrafts.com.
Sending everyone STAY SAFE WISHES sprinkled with PERGA GLITTER. Take care.
Lots of Love, Hugs and Laughter
