Lately I've been having fun with Spellbinder's Betterpress Letterpress system, and my card today uses the letterpress plate that comes with the system...
If you're not familiar with the letterpress technique, it leaves a very deeply etched impression into your cardstock (a special cotton cardstock works best) that is so cool looking...I may have uttered a few squeals after my first try because it was so cool! I ran the plate through twice and then colored the flowers with Y15, Y18 & Y17 Copics, and the leaves just very lightly using a C1 Copic.
My sentiment is from Penny Black's special sentiments set and I finished off this CAS card with a few Clear Drops: Iridescent from PFS.
Make sure you check out all the FABULOUS inspiration from the rest of the DT right HERE, and then play along with us...we'd love to see YOU in the gallery! This challenge is open till the 25th.
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!
