The inspiration for the card is the vintage Franciscan plate. This one is available from DeLois on Etsy.
First I printed the blue, and then the green.
Next comes the type. This is a birthday card so I also have to print the inside message, not to mention the logo on the back. All in all, the card goes through the press 5 times. Each color is a separate printing block. I print on a Kelsey tabletop press, which you can see all inked up on the left.After everything is printed and the ink is dry, I fold the cards, photograph them, package them, and then list them in my shop. It's a long process!
