Hello friends! Spellbinders’ BetterPress of the Month, Paint The Town, is a fun registration press plate set. It is made up of four styles of brushstrokes to create backgrounds that are versatile and suitable for any occasion. They are accompanied by a main sentiment and three supporting sentiments. There are coordinating dies for the sentiments. The supporting sentiments are pressed and die cut all at once! Love that!
For November only, non-club members can join our clubs NOVEMBER 1st instead of waiting until the 6th! So, if you’ve been thinking of joining, now’s the perfect time! Woohoo!
The 4 plates to create the plaid design from the BetterPress of the Month, paint The Town, were used with the BetterPress System. BetterPress Pebbles A2 Panels were taped to the platen with tape rolled up on the backside. I love the soft grey background with the colour palettes chosen for each card.
The registration template was taped to the magnetic platform. Check out the video for a tip!
The plates were positioned in groupings for a total of three separate pressings. They were spaced out on the registration template and inked with Fresh Dye Inks.
For the pink panel, the following combinations were used: Strawberry, Dusty Pink, Blush Rose and Black BetterPress Ink.
For the blue panel, the brushstroke design was created with Dew Drops, Aqualicious and Teal Cave.
The sentiments were pressed onto BetterPress Pebbles A2 Panels with Black BetterPress Ink. Both the sentiments and foam were cut with the coordinating die. The sentiments were stacked.
The panels were trimmed to 4” by 5 1/4” and adhered to A2 sized, black card bases.
The stacked sentiments were adhered and highlighted with Pink Opalescent or Teal Opalescent confetti.
The confetti were highlighted with Nuvo Crystal Drops Morning Dew.
