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 paper using the Nested Squares Picot dies.
Using the Groovi No.2 tool (or Pergamano 1.5mm embossing ball tool) for the tiny leaves and the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool) for the rest of the line art, emboss everything except the greeting over the Cone Flower & Lace Groovi plate.
Step 2: Using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool), emboss the sentiment over the Special Day Sentiments Groovi plate.
Step 3: Using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool), using part of the floral design from the Violet & Lace Groovi plate to create and emboss 3 butterflies.
Step 4: Between the frames, emboss the dots over the Diagonal Embossed Patterns 2 plate using the Groovi No.2 tool (or Pergamano 1.5mm embossing ball tool).
Remove the parchment and align the dots to complete embossing the dots over the whole sections.
Step 5: Using the Groovi 2, 3 & 4 tools (or Pergamano 1mm, 1.5mm and 3mm embossing ball tools) gently emboss the tiny leaves and butterflies.
(Let the parchment rest between layers)
Step 6: Still working on the back, colour using the 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: Add as much or as little (or none) Perga glitter as you wish.
Mount and layer the parchment piece on Companion paper and white card.
Attach all the layers using Pergamano 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
