Spellbinders | Daisy

Hello there, today I have something different to share with you again. This time, a framed piece. If you have been here with me for a while, you will know that I love pigs, so as soon as I saw "Daisy", I knew I wanted to ink her up but that I probably wouldn't want to send her out. So I decided to frame the image, rather than adding her to a card!

PLEASE NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. Please see below for my full disclosure.

I started off by taking a panel of Spellbinders Porcelain BetterPress Cotton Card and cut it to 5 7/8" wide (the same width as my frame but also the widest you can cut it to fit through the machine). I left the length longer to give me some wiggle room. I placed Spellbinders Daisy BetterPress Plate onto the Chase in the Spellbinders BetterPress Letterpress System as centred as possible. 

I inked up the plate with Spellbinders BetterPress Black Ink and then placed the cardstock on the back of the Platen, securing in place with Best Ever Craft Tape. I placed the Platen on the platform and then ran it through the Platinum Six. I removed the image and then cut the length of the panel down to 5 7/8". 

I painted the image with Tim Holtz Distress Inks. I smooshed them onto an acrylic block and then picked them up with wet paintbrush. I used Picked Raspberry, Wilted Violet & Mermaid Lagoon for the pig, Evergreen Bough and Peacock Feathers for the leaves, and Peacock Feathers and Prize Ribbon for the flowers. For some added interest, I pressed the image again, painted the flowers, fussy cut them out and adhered them on top of the panel. To finish, I added a white gel pen dots before placing in the frame.

The pig did turn out a lot more purple than I had planned but I still like how it turned out! Thank you so much for stopping by today, I hope you have a great weekend!
