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 in the deluxe starter kit, emboss largest square using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool)
Step 2: On the bottom of the square, emboss part of the flourish from the Faith Filigree Swirls Groovi plate using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool).
Step 3: From the right side (this on the front will be on the left), emboss the fairy and part of the toadstool from the Fairy 6 Groovi plate using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool).
Step 4: Emboss another fairy on the other side from the Fairy 2 Groovi plate using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool), remembering skip the previously embossed areas.
Step 5: Emboss the flower stems and grasses hanging from the top of the square from the Fairy 2 Groovi plate using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool).
This is what the design looks like on the front so far.
Step 6: Still working on the back, colour the larger areas using Perga Liner B pencils.
Step 7: 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: Where you want stronger colour on the smaller elements, colour using Perga Colours Exclusive pens.
Step 9: On s small spare piece of parchment, emboss the greeting from the Surprise & Thank You Word Chains Groovi border plate using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool).
Step 10: Colour on the back using Perga Colours Exclusive pens.
To Finish: Tear around the greetings piece (but you can cut it straight if you wish) and mount it on a piece of coloured backing paper (I have used Waimea Falls companion paper) using brads (I have used a sequins under my brads).
Cut the fairies parchment piece to size.
Cut squares from Waimea Falls companion paper and white card, each layer slightly larger than the other.
Mount and attach the parchment piece to the companion paper using Pergamano brads.
Stick all the layers on folded 7"x7" white card using Clarity Roll-a-Tape and the greeting piece with foam pads.
Another examples using different colours and no greeting …
