New Archival Inks for Press Plates
Hi crafty friends! Today I want to share with you a card I made using the new Archival inks from Ranger Ink . These inks are great for any crafty projects, specially for those fun press plates. I started by die cutting one of the arches from the Make a Wish Arch Label dies out of a Pebble cotton panel. Then, I used the floral press plate that came with the BetterPress system on the arch die cut. Next, I inked the florals with Beach Cruiser and Mountain Lake Archival inks and ran the plate through my die cutting machine. I know colors like Beach Cruiser and Mountain Lake are not the traditional colors to use on flower images but I wanted to do something a bit different 😊. Once I was done with the plates, it was time to color the beautiful flower image. For this, I used the Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils . The colors I used were: Beige red, Cinnamon, Coral, Venetian Red, White, and Dark Chrome Yellow for the flowers. For the leaves, I used: Earth Green Yellowish and Dark Phthalo
