A few weeks ago, Paul launched the beautiful Floral Delights - All Occasions Groovi Collection designed by Jazz at Clarity Headquarters, As soon as I saw them, I knew I needed to play with them as they are absolutely gorgeous. So over the next few days, I'll the share the step by steps of 3 of the samples I made here and the 4th sample will be a step by step on the Clarity Matters Blog. I guess, I'll go in the order I created them so I don't mix up my step by step photos ... Here is the first one ...

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 rectangle on rainbow parchment (I have used Rose Garden) using the Nested Rectangles Picot dies.
With the glossy brighter side facing up (this is the back of the work), emboss the corresponding double rectangles outlines from the Nested Rectangles Picot Groovi plate using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool).
Step 2: Over the Bouquets & Vases plate from the Floral Delights - All Occasions Groovi Collection, emboss the vase using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool).
Step 3: Emboss the flower bouquet, leaving out the stems in the vase, using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool).
Step 4: On the vase, emboss the pattern over Josie’s Straight Embossed Patterns 3, using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool) for the lines and the Groovi No.2 tool (or Pergamano 1.5mm embossing ball tool) for the dots.
Step 5: Still working on the back, colour the flowers and leaves using Perga Colours Exclusive pens.
Step 6: Colour vase using the 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)
Step 7: 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).
Step 8: Emboss the sentiment from the Autumn - Thinking Of You plate from the Floral Delights - All Occasions Groovi Collection using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool).
Step 9: Emboss stitch lines between alternate dots using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool).
Step 10: Die cut the 3rd largest picot square on clear parchment using the Nested Squares Picot dies.
Emboss the corresponding double square outlines from the Squares Picot Groovi plate using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool).
Step 11: Still working on the back, about an inch into the square colour on one side using the Perga Liner B pencils and blend the colours using a little Dorso oil and a blending nib.
Step 12: Over the Straight Embossed Frames & Corners plate, emboss the dots using the Groovi No.2 tool (or Pergamano 1.5mm embossing ball tool) and the rest of the line art using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool).
Step 13: Colour between the double outlives and in the circles using Perga Colours Exclusive pens.
To Finish:
Die cut the 3rd largest picot rectangle on corresponding rainbow paper using the Nested Rectangles Picot dies.
Mount and attach the layers using Pergamano brads (I have used a sequins under the brads).
Stick this on folded 6"x6" white card using Clarity Roll-a-Tape.
Tie a ribbon on the tag and stick it on the rainbow parchment piece using a glue dot.
