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 the3rd largest picot square on rainbow parchment (I have used Lemon Sorbet) using the Nested Squares Picot dies.

With the glossy brighter side facing up (this is the back of the work), emboss the corresponding double squares outlines from the Nested Squares 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 little circles 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) for the bouquet.

Step 3: Emboss the sentiment from the Spring - Happy Anniversary plate from the Floral Delights - All Occasions Groovi Collection using the Groovi No.1 tool (or Pergamano 1mm embossing ball tool).

Step 4: On the front, over the super foam and the Straight Pattern No.1 Groovi Border Piercing Grid, perforate the border pattern across the bouquet and greeting box (skipping the areas with previously embossed line art) using the bold 1-needle perforating tool.

Step 5: Turn the parchment over to the back, line up the perforations over the corresponding Straight Basic Groovi Border Piercing Grid and emboss dots in and around the perforated grid pattern using the Groovi No.2 tool (or Pergamano 1.5mm embossing ball tool).

Step 6: Using the Groovi 2 & 3 tools (or Pergamano 1mm & 1.5mm embossing ball tools) gently emboss the circles, some leaves and flower buds.

(Let the parchment rest between layers)

Step 7: Still working on the back, colour the flowers and leaves which had not been embossed using Perga Colours Exclusive pens.

Step 8: Colour the greetings box 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 9: Picot cut between all the perforations making sure the scissors are over the waste when you cut.

To Finish: Add as much or as little (or none) Perga glitter as you wish.

Die cut the 2nd largest picot square on corresponding rainbow paper using the Nested Squares Picot dies.

Cut a white square and companion paper slightly larger than the previous layer.

Mount and attach the layers using Pergamano brads (I have used a sequins under the brads).

  Stick this on folded 7"x7" white card using Clarity Roll-a-Tape.

Stick ribbon on the bouquet using a glue dot.

Groovi plates and ingredients are available on https://claritycrafts.com.

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