Faux Letterpress
A simple and beautiful technique that gives a professional, expensive look to all your projects.
Using two colours of pigment ink, apply to the back of your chosen die.
Place your rubber mat onto the base plate of your die cutting machine, then add your blank card. Carefully place the inked side of the die onto the card, add the cutting plate over the top, and run through the machine. You may need to adjust the cutting plates to compensate for the rubber mat, just follow the machines guidelines provided by the manufacturer to do this. Carefully lift off the die, but make sure not to smudge your image!
