Even More Letterpress Love!

Well, I think it's obvious that I ♥ the letterpress!

I'm going to share two cards with you tonight, or I'm going to showing you Letterpress cards all month at this rate!

This card was really simple to make. I used the Everyday Printing Plate Set 2 with Pink Letterpress Ink, and I placed a piece of copy paper approximately 4cm in width over the Printing plate where I wanted the uncoloured section to be. Then I passed the Letterpress through the Epic 6. Then I took the border plate and inked with black ink and placed carefully just on the edges of the white panel. Finally I used the letters from the Everyday Printing Plates Set 4 to spell Hi. Then it was simply a case of adding flowers to the left.

I demonstrated this card on Create and Craft and I think it shows the versitility and practicality of the Letterpress. This was a plate from the Wedding Plate - Twigs and Sprigs inked with navy ink, and the thank you sentiment also from the same set inked with gold ink. I used the sponge spacers to make sure I replaced the card in exactly the same place each time, allowing me to make the same design over and over again. Don't forget to re-ink each time though, to make sure the image is as clear as the first. I than added some ribbon from the Persimmon collection to finish the card. How quick would these be for Wedding or Christmas Thanks you's?!

Even though Sundays are normally a day of rest, not for me today as I've been busy finishing the last three projects for May's Creativity Magazine, and writing the 8 scripts {well I say scripts, more of a guide really} for Creativity TV which we are filming next week. The sketch for Challenge of the Week is also ready to post on Tuesday, but I've still to pack my clothes and check {and double check } I have everything for each of the demos! Sheila has kept me sane and on the straight and narrow though, chatting on Skype as we do.

Anyhoo, must be toddling off - Drama Group calls Darling! x
