Meet Clover, the super cute image from Spellbinders by Justine Dvorak. This adorable image made me jump down the rabbit hole of the letterpress technique. I have seen soo many adorable cards created with this image. I have set on the fence about the whole letterpress system for a long time, this image made me take the plunge!
My photos do not do the crisp image justice! I inked up my press plate with black ink and then added some color with watercolor wonder crayons. I will definitely be adding more press plates to my collection in the future.

Allisia, your card featuring Clover is just delightful! She is such a pretty image and you’re right, the BP system gives very crisp images every time. Enjoy your BP journey and thank you for joining in this week at the Paper Players!
Thank you! I was really hesitant about jumping into letterpress…but thankfully it was super easy! Great impressions on the first try!

Thanks so much! Definitely more cow cards in the future. I am more of a horse girl….but live in cow country!
What a gorgeous card, Alicia! I love your beautiful colouring and that image is special somehow. I can see why it prompted you to jump into letterpress.
Thanks for sharing with us at Addicted to Stamps and More..
