Let it swim
Happy Chinese New Year 2011! It’s the Year of the Rabbit. It officially begins today :)
I came across this Year of the Rabbit letterpress print by Dutch Door Press and it made me so happy. They created this print inspired by Chinese cut paper art.
Super cute!

Happy February, everyone! It’s my favorite month of the year despite the snow and coldness :)
and Valentine’s Day is around the corner, do you have a special card for this year yet? I printed some new greeting cards, I’ve been meaning to share… It’s a houndstooth card with a little twist :)
Some shots from the studio…
Adjusting the impression and the placement:
and print 1 st color — of course the classic black :)
Placing the second plate with red ink… (for version #1)
And voila! Do you get it?! :) You will, when you open the card….
and here are the final products…
Houndstooth Card — I love you.
There is a message inside of the card… :)
Houndstooth Card — Best Friends Forever. For your BFF! :)
Houndstooth Card — I miss you.
Hope you like them! :)

Can’t wait to receive my copy… and I wonder who gets the Heartfish Press samplers… (I included some prints, too!) Will you let me know if you would be the one?
