Happy Mothers day! I made these card for the mothers in my life. If you are one of them they are on your way and sorry that the surprise has been ruined.
I had a wonderful "happy-accident" during my process. I made the ever obvious mistake of carving the linoleum without compensating for the fact that the final print would be in reverse. After a mixture of laughter and tears I finished carving any way and decided to print the image backwards on Graffix Trace Vellum a heavy duty nice transparent drafting vellum. Then I cut corner slots in the cards made from BFK Cream paper and slid the vellum in with the printed side towards the card so the image is viewed correctly through the transparency.
Its wonderful when "mistakes" work.
thanks to Will Godwin for the use of the camera.
