Here is the step by steps for the card I demo-ed on Create and Craft for the Pergamano show on Thursday, 9/2/2023, at 3pm using the Fairies and Filigree Swirls A6 Groovi Plates...
Groovi Plates
Groovi Deluxe Starter Kit with A5sq Butterfly Wreath Groovi Plate (GRO-SK-41709-XX)
Art Deco Border Plate Mate (GRO-MA-40348-13)
Fairies & Spacer A6 Groovi Plate Set (GRO-FY-40723-02)
Filigree Swirls & Spacer A6 Groovi Plate collection (GRO-PA-41963-02)
Word Chains & Mini 17,18,19&20 Groovi Border Plate Trio (GRO-WO-41191-09)
Step 1: From the Nested Squares Groovi plate in the deluxe starter kit, emboss 2nd largest square using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool).
Step 2: In the centre, using the Groovi No.2 tool (or Pergamano 1.5mm embossing ball tool), emboss the ovals and circles on the toadstools and fairy wings from the Fairy 5 Groovi plate.
Step 3: Emboss the rest of the design using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool), leaving out the apple.
Step 4: In place of the apple, emboss part of the flower from the Fairy 1 Groovi plate using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool).
Step 5: To emboss the greeting, start with the word 'Kind' from from the How Kind & You're The Best Word Chains Groovi border plate using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool).
Step 6: Locate and emboss the letters 'of' and 'you' from the Surprise & How Kind Mini Word Chains Groovi border plate using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool).
Step 7: On the other side of the fairy, emboss 'How Very' from the Surprise & How Kind Mini Word Chains Groovi border plate using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool).
Step 8: Emboss part of flourishes around the fairy and greetings from the Joy Filigree Swirls Groovi plate using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool).
Step 9: Using the Groovi No.2, 3 & 4 tools (or Pergamano 1mm, 1.5mm and 3mm embossing ball tools) gently emboss in the flower petals, fairy outfits, elements in the fairy wings, toadstool, ovals and circles.
(Let the parchment rest between layers)
This is what it looks like on the front so far...
Step 6: Still working on the back, colour 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).
To Finish: Cut the parchment piece to size.
Cut squares from Amazonia 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 (I have used a sequins under my 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
