Custom Print: BLISS

I had fun printing this custom print for Lindsey, “BLISS” – what a simple and happy word! It’s going to be her last name soon… even happier!! :) Congratulations, Lindsey! (soon-to-be-Mrs.Bliss!)

Setting up type, locking up on Vandecook Press:

Adjusting the placement. It’s in 8×10 inches so making sure the word prints in center.

bliss2

Mixing color…. (oh, how I love this…) she requested a blissful blue :)

and here it is:

I love how it came out, simple and gorgeous!

    I love my ‘live what you love’ print, but know I want one of these as well. You should definitely add them to the shop – I think they’d sell like hot cakes.

    Lucy C-

    ohhhh maybe I should!?! I’m glad to hear that you’d be interested and that you love your LWYL print!! Thank you :)
