Vivid Blooms Floral Card with Letterpress Background

Today I'm sharing details about this card I made featuring Spellbinders gorgeous February BetterPress Of The Month Club Kit!   This beautiful press plate, Luxe Damask, made an awesome background for the die cuts from the Vivid Blooms die set!

The February BetterPress press plate actually presses two rows of the Luxe Damask pattern.  There is a preprinted "registration template" with guide lines for placement of the press plate to get a perfect pattern for a full card front.

I used three shades of yellow ink for the Luxe Damask press plate and the flowers from the Vivid Blooms die set.  The inks are linked in the list below.  After you tape the registration template to your magnetic insert on the BetterPress Letterpress System's chase, you line up the press plate according to the template.  Ink up the press plate and run the chase through your die cutting machine.  I use a Platinum 6.

Then I moved the Luxe Damask press plate to the next set of lines on the template and repeated the above steps until I had the entire piece of Porcelain cotton card covered with the pattern.

I used several of the dies from the Vivid Blooms die set and cut them from white, light green, and dark green cardstocks.

I used blending brushes to add yellow inks to the flowers and a black Copic marker for the flower centers.

The sentiment is one of three sentiment press plates (and coordinating dies) included with the February BetterPress of the month.  I pressed it with black ink onto Porcelain cotton card.  I used foam tape to pop it up on the card.

 I wish you could see the beautiful impressed, textured background this Luxe Damask press plate creates!  You can check out all of the Spellbinders Club Kits and the information for subscribing by clicking HERE.
