I recently did a linocut class at Market Place Print Studios, opened recently by our Emily and her partner, Jack. I thought I could use the skill to make my own backgrounds and images. It was such a great class, Jack was a brilliantly calm tutor and not at all dismissive of the background image that I made. I felt my fellow course attendees produced far more accomplished linocuts to use for card printing but I did have a different end product in mind.
The above shows the cards we made, (I did some second generation printing for the one in the above picture). I've then used Sizzix and Marianne Designs Wildflower dies to continue with the rustic theme and feel quite pleased with the finished card now!!

here in Cockermouth, they're offering all sorts of classes and instruction. It was also Emily's first time of lino cutting and look what she made with her finished stamp - love, love, love her beautiful block printed butterfly bag. (Pic from a Maker's Market they did last weekend.)
Hopefully, I'll get back into the swing of posting on here - as I've stepped back from all my team stuff, I've lost the momentum but it has been lovely not to have to work to deadlines or use specific products.
Thanks for popping in.
