Letterpress meets Cuttlebug

I love experimenting with my Letterpress, especially the ink mixing and the finding other things to Letterpress.

To make this thank you card, I used the Twigs and Springs printing plate. I find it really easy to line up the items you want printed on your card by putting the items on your card face down with the sticky side up and the pressing the plate down to attach it. Perfect line up everytime. I then used the nesting circles to cut my design out onto.



To make the spotted background, I used the Cuttlebug swiss dots embossing folder. All you need to do is open up the folder then stick it to the letterpress. Ink it up and away you go. It's just like using the Letterpress plates.

To finish, I just added some little silver nailheads on some of the flowers.

Enjoy, Wendy X
