Letterpress Hello

 

Hi and welcome to another challenge from the team at Freshly Made Sketches where our hostess this week is Judy Rozema.  Judy has a wonderful CAS sketch for us that asks for a lot of white space.  Here's what I did with the sketch:

I jumped on the Betterpress bandwagon as soon as they were available in New Zealand but hadn't really done too much with it.  I decided that big open area on the top of the sketch was perfect for this big hello so I put that through the Betterpress system using the pebble paper.  I then die-cut the panel with a curved die, which in hindsight wasn't a great idea because it flattened the letterpress effect somewhat.  I added a strip of Blueberry cardstock under the curve to match the colour of the butterflies.

The butterflies were already pressed onto porcelain paper from an earlier play, so I grabbed a couple of Prismacolor pencils and quickly coloured them up before die-cutting them.  And that's it!

Thanks so much for visiting.  The DT have some great inspiration so please check them out.
