Lilies on patterned paper

My second project with the April Betterpress Society plate, Cascading Lilies was done on patterned paper.  I found several pieces of patterned paper in my stash that were 'calm' enough to support a pressed image overtop of the print.  This was an old paper from Graphic 45.


I wanted to keep it tone-on-tone, so used Betterpress Tawny Brown ink, and did a little ink blending over the flowers and foliage with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide ink.


I used Spellbinders Hemstitched Rectangle dies to cut out my image, then layered it over a cream pearlescent cardstock with some 3D foam adhesive.  I used the same cardstock to press the sentiment, which I cut out with the coordinating die.


You can get a Betterpress Society subscription from The Papercrafter's Workshop.
