Snippets - Nellie Snellen Oval + Letterpress.

Hullo there everyone.
Well here are some Snippets all ready from the Snippets drawer and assembled for your viewing.
When busy making another card, I came across these two Snippets, and when put them together I thought, they are lovely! why didn't I see it before?
The background done many moons ago with letterpress method by Gina K.see here - or my summary here: 
Letterpress with Spellbinder Impressabilities (this is Flourish) 
Letterpress method has debossed the design into cardstock and colours. You can use pigment or dye ink. Pigment takes longer to dry, but dye ink dies straight away and ready for debossing.
TIP: if wanting deeper debossing, then spritz card stock with light spray of water then put throguh the bug.
1. Cover the Impressabilities with ink.
2. Take out the bug, plate A plate B then tan mat.
3. Then card stock, and inked Impressabilites INK SIDE down.
4. B plate and shim for extra pressure.


 The Centre image stamped ages ago now, by "the-random-scribble-on-the stamp-with-water-markers" method. Once inked up with markers, spritz with water, and stamp on gloss card - see for method HERE (look for link to Lindsay's blog)
 Used the Nellie Snellen Oval, with purple Spellbinder Oval Petite scallop, cut then assembled the card with other snippets and hey presto card was made!
All ready to enter into the Snippets Challenge over at Miss Di's this week - playground here I come!

Thanks everyone for popping over for a peek and chat - you make my day, you do! :D

    Hi Shaz, this is fabulous! Beautiful letterpressing. The closest I've come to this is to brayer ink onto the 'flat' side of an embossing folder before running it through the Cuttlebug but I think this effect is much nicer. Gorgeous image on your card too!

    Hugs, Di xx

    Just watched the video on the water colour painting. What a lovely effect it makes on the glossy card. Love the colours on this card. I need to get myself some more markers in these shades.
    Hugs Mrs A.
