Fiona had been doing some experimenting with rolling three colours on to wood type. Rather than waste the ink I decided I would do a couple more print runs of gift cards using more of those ornaments.
The purple I created by mixing the dark purple into leftover white created a gorgeous purple where the white was fairly popping out of it.

I did a press run in purple; and then managed to print some in red today.

I did not quite get time to finish the series - only a couple more; and then the tray of ornaments can be put back into the cabinet ready for use by us or students who may come to try their hand in the Deckled Edge Press studio.
that's a great purple and love the little heart cards!
ReplyDeletepurple is such a tricky color to mix up ... you nailed it!
ReplyDeleteand those paired ornaments on the press are delight-full
