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 4th 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 corresponding double square outlines from the Nested Squares Picot Groovi plate using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool).

Step 2: In the corner, emboss the roses from the Roses Groovi plate using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool).

Step 3: In the top left corner (this will be on the right on the front), from the Gladiolus Groovi plate, emboss the circles using the Groovi No.2 tool (or Pergamano 1.5mm embossing ball tool).

Step 4: Emboss the rest of the line art using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool).

Step 5: Coming off each side of the corner lace design, emboss part of the ribbon twirl from the Cosmos Groovi plate, using the Groovi No.2 tool (or Pergamano 1.5mm embossing ball tool).

Step 6: In the corner of the rose design emboss the corner ribbon design using the Groovi No.2 tool (or Pergamano 1.5mm embossing ball tool).

Step 7: In the corner of the lace design, emboss the almond shape designs, using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool).

Step 8: Using the Groovi No.2, 3 & 4 tools (or Pergamano 1mm, 1.5mm and 3mm embossing ball tools) gently emboss inside the ribbon and lace corner.

(Let the parchment rest between layers)

This is what the design looks like on the front so far ...

Step 9: Still working on the back, colour inside various elements using the Perga Liner B pencils.

Step 10: 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 11: On clear parchment, emboss a largest doily from the Square Doily Frames Groovi plate using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool).

Step 12: From the front, over the super foam, using Pergamano bold 2-needle perforating tool, perforate outside the frame.

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

Step 13: Die cut the smallest tag on clear parchment using the Nested Arch Tag dies.

Emboss the corresponding double outlines and dots around the inner outline from the Nested Arch Tag Groovi plate using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool).
