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: On clear parchment emboss part of the lace design on the Pansy & Lace plate using the Groovi No.2 tool (or Pergamano 1.5mm embossing ball tool) for the circles and the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool) for the rest of the line art.

Step 2: Remove the parchment and line up the lace design over the plate and repeat to create a complete circle.

Step 3: In each of the ornamental part of the lace design, emboss the dots over the Diagonal Embossed Patterns 1 plate using the Groovi No.2 tool (or Pergamano 1.5mm embossing ball tool).

Step 4: Emboss the circles using the Groovi No.2 tool (or Pergamano 1.5mm embossing ball tool).

Step 5: From the front, over the super foam, using Pergamano bold 2-needle perforating tool, perforate inside the scallops and outside the lace frame.

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

Step 6: Die cut the 5th smallest picot circle on rainbow parchment (I have used Lavender Fields) using the Nested Circles Picot dies.

With the glossy brighter side facing up (this is the back of the work), emboss the corresponding double circle outlines from the Nested Circles Picot Groovi plate using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool).

Step 7: Emboss part of the floral design from the Violet & Lace plate using the Groovi No.2 tool (or Pergamano 1.5mm embossing ball tool) for the flower centres and the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool) for the rest of the line art.

Step 8: In the space between the circles outline and floral design, emboss the dots over the Straight Embossed Patterns 3 plate using the Groovi No.2 tool (or Pergamano 1.5mm embossing ball tool) and the lines using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool).

Step 9: Remove the parchment and align the dots to complete embossing the dots over the whole section.

Step 10: Using the Groovi 3 & 4 tools (or Pergamano 1.5mm and 3mm embossing ball tools) gently emboss the flower petals and flower centres.

(Let the parchment rest between layers)

Step 11: Still working on the back, colour flowers and leaves using the Perga Liner B pencils.

Step 12: 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 13: Die cut the 2nd largest picot square on rainbow parchment (I have used Lavender Fields) 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 14: In the corners, emboss part of the lace design from the Jasmine & Lace plate using the Groovi No.2 tool (or Pergamano 1.5mm embossing ball tool) for the circles and the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool) for the rest of the line art as well as the tiny dots.
