Hi Michelle. It's so nice to see you on the hop. Your cards are stunning and your little tag is adorable. Thank you for showing and explaining how to use the Better Press. I am so happy Altenew is making plates for use in the Better Press because Altenew knows everything about making beautiful flowers. I look forward to your next projects❤
Pretty cards! I love the black card with metallic ink. That is such a striking look!
Such lovely cards! I love having more examples of the kinds of cards that can be made with the BetterPress plates.
I LOVE how you limited the colors. I'm NOT into rainbows, and it seems that just about every project is rainbow. So THANK YOU for a different color scheme!!!! It's so pretty and innocent...
Great to see Betterpress works well with Altenew watercolor paper. I love your ink blending over the designs. Very pretty.
Adorable cards! Great new products! Thanks for sharing!
Gorgeous cards! Love the Altenew press plates - so beautiful!
Such lovely cards! The colors and designs are wonderful. Thanks for sharing.

I love love love that Altenew has partnered with Spellbinders to make more betterpress plates. Altenew always makes such amazing flower images. Thank you for your video and all your wonderful ideas. It was great to see that you can use different inks instead of just the betterpress inks. Looks like amazing results! Those inks look like a a lot of fun to use. I love all the vibrant colors! Your finished cards are stunning!

What a lovely set of cards. I know some other bloggers have run into the same issue of the BetterPress ink getting muted when ink blending over it so they switched to doing the ink blending first. I like your suggestion of spritzing the finished panel with water.
@MichelleShortTheCardGrotto
Жыл бұрын
Thank you so much. Yes, I saw that Mindy said the same thing. I did try ink blending first and you definitely get a better result but I find it much easier to see where I am ink blending when the image is already in place. I do think the water helps a bit though. Thank you so much for watching!
