All the embossing on this project is done on the back.
The colouring on this project is done on the back and front.
Step 1: Die cut the 4th largest picot square on rainbow parchment (I have used Pastel Rainbow) using the Nested Squares Picot dies.
With the glossy brighter side facing up (this is the back of the work), emboss the art nouveau snowdrops design from the Snowdrops Groovi plate using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool).
Step 2: Emboss 3 6th largest circles alongside the floral design over the Framework Circles Groovi plate using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool).
Step 3: Emboss a panel, leaving the circles empty, using the Spacer Groovi plate using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool).
Step 4: On a spare piece of parchment, create a greeting template over the Alphabet Groovi plate using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool).
Step 5: Using Groovi tabs, position and stick the template (back facing up) over the back of the floral design to create a hinge.
Step 6: Place the parchment over the first letter, lift the template and emboss the letter using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool).
Step 7: Repeat for the rest of the greeting.
Step 8: In the circles, emboss the dots over the Diagonal Embossed Patterns 1 Groovi plate using the Groovi No.2 tool (or Pergamano 1.5mm embossing ball tool).
Step 9: Still working on the back, colour using the Perga Liner B pencils.
Step 10: 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.
Die cut the 3rd largest picot square on corresponding rainbow paper using the Nested Squares Picot dies.
Mount and attach the layers using Pergamano brads (I have used a sequins under the brads).
Stick this on folded white card using Clarity Roll-a-Tape.
Groovi plates and ingredients are available on https://claritycrafts.com.
Sending everyone STAY SAFE WISHES sprinkled with PERGA GLITTER. Take care.
Lots of Love, Hugs and Laughter
