LDRS Creative | Christmas Wreath Card using the Happy Holidays Impress-ion Press + Foil Plates

I created a timeless holiday card featuring a gorgeous letterpress wreath with a classic red and green color combination. Check out how the Happy Holidays and Chain Link Lattice Background Impress-ion Press + Foil Plates come together perfectly to spread some holiday cheer!








Products used - 



I created my background by pressing the Chain Link Lattice Background Impress-ion Press + Foil Plate into an A2 Cotton Watercolor Panel with Kiss Me Red Hybrid Ink. I pressed the image and sentiment from the Happy Holidays Impress-ion Press + Foil Plates into a second panel using the same red ink for the sentiment and Raven Hybrid Ink for the image. Remember that since I'm using a letterpress plate, I need to use a specialized platform. Using the traditional platform and cutting plates will damage my machine. 





I colored the image with a handful of alcohol markers and used the Happy Holidays Coordinating Dies to cut out the image and sentiment. I added some vellum behind the opening in the center of the wreath to help it stand out from the background. I popped up the image and sentiment with foam tape in the center of the card, and that's it!
