Hello. So the fabulous ~amy~ tempted me with her unused Lifestyle Crafts Letterpress and I couldn't say no. I've done a lot of fun things with the faux letterpress technique (click here for a tutorial I did for Do More With Less)... but girls... I'm in trouble-- the real letterpress technique makes me giddy. This card is for the Moxie Fab World "Winter Blues" challenge.
Some friends just had a baby boy-- so why not send them a non-blue card? I used this week's CR84FN colors. I've done a loose take on the Authentique sketch and I'm just sneaking in this with a tiny bit of time to spare.
And this my friends would be the DH's card for our friends' new baby. I'm sharing this for Emily who often talks about her husband's crafting and I've told mine that he should make me a card from time to time and he always declines. Well, my new tool had him intrigued. I have a feeling you'll be seeing more of my new letterpress...
