All the embossing on this project is done on the back.
The colouring on this project is done on the back.

Step 1: Die cut the 4th largest picot square on clear parchment using the Nested Squares Picot dies.
Using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool), emboss the 3rd largest double square outlines, scallops, and dots and the 3rd smallest double square outlines over the Nested Scallops Squares Groovi plate.

Step 2: In the small square, emboss circle and largest butterfly design over the Butterfly Groovi plate using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool) for the stems.

Step 3: In one of the corners, emboss the circle and largest fuchsia design over the Daisy Groovi plate using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool) for the stems.

Step 4: Repeat in the remaining corners using different flowers from the various plates.

Step 5: In the space between the floral circles, emboss the background over the Floral Backgrounds Groovi plate using the Groovi No.2 tool (or Pergamano 1.5mm embossing ball tool).

Step 6: In the corners of the small square, using the Groovi No.2 tool (or Pergamano 1.5mm embossing ball tool), emboss the dots over the Straight Basic Bold Grid Groovi plate .

Step 7: Still working on the back, colour using the Perga Liner B pencils.

 Step 8: 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: Add as much or as little (or none) Perga glitter as you wish.
Mount and layer the parchment piece on Companion paper using Pergamano brads (I have used a sequins under the brads).
  Stick this on folded white card using Clarity Roll-a-Tape.

Sending everyone STAY SAFE WISHES sprinkled with PERGA GLITTER. Take care.

Lots of Love, Hugs and Laughter
