Three Adorable Farm Animal Cards

Hello! Jen Kotas here today with three cards featuring the Justine’s Farm Collection by Justine Dvorak. This is a sweet collection of five press plate sets, four featuring adorable farm animals. One of the best things about BetterPress plates is that they can be used with the BetterPress System and the Glimmer Hot Foil System! When I’m already using either system, I like to make up extras, even if I don’t plan to use them yet. This is especially true for any sentiments.

  1. Impress the Daisy Press Plate and Die Set using Black BetterPress Ink on a Porcelain A2 BetterPress Cotton Card Panel. Create sentiments on a separate panel and cut out.
  2. Color image with watercolor pencils or preferred coloring medium suited for BetterPress cardstock.
  3. Cut the third largest Perfect Touch Arches Etched Die from an A2 panel of white cardstock then emboss with the Flowers and Foliage 3D Embossing Folder.
  4. Adhere embossed panel over BetterPress card panel and cut off overhang. I chose not to center my image. Add to an A2 card base.
  5. Adhere sentiments with thin foam squares then finish with Pink Color Essentials Gems throughout card.
