Stitching and Betterpress

I pressed both of these panels a few months ago, using the April Betterpress Society plates, 'Inkspired Wishes', along with a couple of older florals, and just got around to adding some finishing touches, and making them up into cards.

I used Betterpress black ink for the florals, then Solid Gold, Silver Shine, Lovestruck and Mojito metallic inks from Lisa Horton Crafts to press all the shapes from Inkspired Wishes.

This is the Sealed Floral plate, pressed onto a Porcelain Cotton card panel.  I used my sewing machine to stitch some lines of black thread onto the bottom right corner.

This is the floral plate that is included when you buy a Betterpress machine.  I used a ruler to pierce holes into my Porcelain Cotton Card Panel, then stitched my X's with two strands of black embroidery floss.  You can get a subscription to the Betterpress Society from The Papercrafter's Workshop.
