Zutter Bow-it-All
Darice 2mm foam sheet (behind letterpress piece)
It had been a while since I'd used this technique. Applying the ink with the ink pad resulted in a splotchy background. It was much better when I used a brayer. Best of all was using a brayer with Distress Oxide Ink and adding a 110-lb. cardstock shim to the Cuttlebug sandwich.
The Mulberry Paper is smooth and a bit heavier than my other mulberry papers. I'm not sure where I got it—maybe from Nora or a sample from Kelly Papers? Maybe it's not even mulberry paper, but that's the best way I can think of to describe it.
I followed Taheera Atchia‘s tip for attaching a card-size mat to the card base, and it worked like a charm. You place the card in the corner of a score board, add adhesive to the mat, and line it up in the same corner. The workshops I go to almost always have us cover a white card base with colored cardstock, and I can't get the darn thing to line up correctly. I almost always have to trim along the edges. I tried Taheera's tip, and it worked perfectly. I used a Scor-Pal, but this would work in a stamp positioner with two raised sides too.
