I had so much fun making Christmas cards featuring the BetterPress Christmas collection. All of the BetterPress plates are adorable!
Holly Press Tree Press Card
“I used BetterPress to ink the Holly Tree Press Plates with black ink, and then I colored them with green ink. I applied the green ink using blending tools and sprayed some water to blend and enhance the colors.”

I added some holly leaves and Berries next to the sentiments.
