All the embossing on this project is done on the back.
The colouring on this project is done on the back.
Step 1: From the Nested Squares Groovi plate that is in the deluxe starter kit, using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool), emboss the 2nd and 3rd largest squares and only the horizontal lines of the 2nd smallest square as guidelines for the greeting panel.
Step 2: Move the parchment to the longer lines on the Groovi plate. Emboss to extend the guidelines using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool).
Step 3: Line up the horizontal lines on the parchment over the vertical lines of the Groovi plate. Using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool), emboss lines between the 2 squares to break up the border into smaller squares.
Step 4: In the panel, on the right (this on the front will be on the left), emboss the word 'Happy' from the Occasions Groovi border plate using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool).
Step 5: On the left (this on the front will be on the right), emboss the word 'Mum'' from the Relatives Groovi border plate using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool). This will allow for us to place 'Birthday' centrally between the 2 words.
Step 6: In the middle, emboss the word 'Birthday'' from the Relatives Groovi border plate using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool).
Step 7: In the corners, emboss the large swirly pattern from the Lace Corners border Groovi plate, using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool)
Step 8: Move the parchment higher on the Lace Corners border Groovi plate and emboss the smaller element of the design using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool).
Step 9: Emboss the middle lace design from the Nested Lace Fan Border Frames border Groovi plate using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool), remembering to skip the section between the greeting panel.
Step 10: Using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool), from the Flower Fun Groovi plate, between the frame and the panel, on the right (this on the front will be on the left), emboss the cluster of the 3 daisies.
Step 11: Using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool), in the lower section between the frame and the panel, on the left (this on the front will be on the right), emboss the cluster of the 2 daisies.
Step 12: In the remaining space in the frame, emboss the tiny butterflies from the Dragonfly Fun Groovi plate using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool).
Step 13: Still working on the back, colour using Perga Colours Exclusive pens.
Step 14: Colour the between the squares, corners, lace frame and in the greeting panel and butterflies using 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: Cut the parchment piece to size.
Cut squares from Northern Lights companion paper and white card, each layer slightly larger than the other.
Mount and attach the parchment piece to the smallest Northern Lights paper square using Pergamano brads.
Stick all the layers on folded 7"x7" white card using Clarity Roll-a-Tape.

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