Eco Print Cards 2

Welcome!
I hope you're having a good day and getting through this
difficult time with good health.
Today I have a couple more cards that I made
from some of my eco-prints.
This one was done the same way the 2 in my last post
were done, using the masterboard as my background
and the eco-print as the focal point.
This one was a single leaf that I loved,
it is pretty light, but in real life you can see it a little
better.  I wet the paper a bit around the leaf and
tore around it to give an organic feel.
The background piece is hand made paper that
I had used some bronze and gold inks to color.

I'm glad you stopped in today for a visit and
I hope you'll come again soon.
Until next time:
Stay safe, stay healthy!

Eco Print Cards 1

Hi crafty people!
Today I have some cards to show you that I
made with some eco-prints that I made.
Last fall I decided to give eco-printing a try.
I really enjoyed making the prints and seeing how
different leaves and flowers turned out.
I can't wait to give some flowers a try this summer.
I used my heat press to do these,
HERE is a video on the process.
If you don't have a heat press or don't want to
use it for this, just search eco-printing on YouTube
there are lots of videos out there to help you.
I cut the pages that I made into pieces featuring 
some of the prints I like the best.
The background layer is from a "masterboard" 
that I made a couple months ago.
This one was done with all the same supplies,
but I did ink up the edges with some 
Antique Linen Distress Ink.
This one I chose to add a small strip from a
background that I had in my stash, adding a little
color to the card.
I have a lot more eco-prints in my stash and
will be making more projects with them soon. 
Some as focal points and some as backgrounds.
I hope you'll come back and see what I come up with.

Thanks for stopping in today and spending a little
time with me.  I hope you will look up eco-printing and
maybe give it a try.
Until next time;
Try something new!
