letterpressing!

Megan’s family has a letterpress machine & I’ve been dying to learn the art. I was surprised by how easy a simple design is to set-up. 
Here’s the process-

1. Arrange the desired imprint design
2. Mix different inks to achieve a beautiful color

 3. Pedal until the color is evenly spread.
4. Place card so that design is centered
Letterpress away!!
In this case, I made “rachel anne” stationary, using a teal blue color. 
I absolutely loved learning how to letterpress from the pro! Thank you so much megan elizabeth for teaching me. I’ve loved using these flat cards for cute little notes.
