Finally got around to trying the letterpress technique with a PTI impression plate!
Using my brayer, I inked up the metal IP, then placed my rustic CS on top and ran the whole thing through my Big Shot. LOVE the look, and don't know why I waited so long to try it!
This card is based on a LO I saw ages ago on someone's blog and I can't remember who. If it was YOU or you know what I'm talking about, please share the link! *smile*
I've been so busy lately with a school function fundraiser, but it ended last night so I can breath a bit easier now. Wheww. I've been asked for some wedding invitation samples so I need to get crackin' on those, and I have a customer waiting on a few custom cards too, so now I can focus on getting those done.
Plus today is my mom's birthday and I haven't even finished her card yet! EEEEK
My siblings and I bought her a round trip ticket on Amtrak so she can go see her BFF in Colorado, and I want to get her piano tuned as a surprise too. *grin*
Thanks for stopping by,
Hope your Sunday is superb!
*mwah*

This card totally jumped out at me from my reader this morning, and the details are amazing. I was just thinking of buying a brayer yesterday so I could try this technique, and now I wish I had! Love the way you rolled one end of the sentiment banner and curled the corners for a rustic look.

Gasp! I LOVE this! such a work of art! The colors and the sentiment are gorgeous, and letterpress sounds (and looks) like a fun technique. Amazing design, too...very inspirational.

This is marvelous, Dana! I love the colors, and the letterpress looks fabulous! I tried it one time and made a big mess, so I'm sort of letterpress shy now lol!
I just love how you curled the edges of your card, it's my favorite thing about it!! Beautiful work!!
Oh my!!! This is a jaw dropper!!! LOVE it!!! I so need to try that technique...THANKS for the beautiful inspiration!!!
Dana, this is gorgeous!! I have to give that technique a try. Fabulous results here lady!
That looks so amazing! At first I thought it was some fancy patterned paper and wanted to know what brand it was. So excited that I can attempt to make it myself! :) Thanks for sharing!
Well I thought I was just going to pop in here real quick, check out your card, and not leave a comment - but darn if that isn't the most GORGEOUS work of card art, ever! I failed terribly at trying letterpress (without a brayer) so I am especially in awe. What a thoughtful present for your mom, too!
*gasp* A super stunner, Dana!! I LOVE it!!
Love this! especially the rolled corners.
This is stunning, and now the Vineyard Impression Plate has hit the top of my wish list!
stunningly gorgeous!
Wowsers that is just gorgeous!!
Wow, what a gorgeous card! Love that letterpress technique - I haven't tried it yet, but you've inspired me to!
