I just had to jump in here, though --- I did some lino block print cards a couple of years ago, and a printer friend taught me a good trick: to get a nice ink distribution, place the card on top of the block, so that it sticks to the ink a little, then use the curved back of a spoon to rub the back of the paper. For me, it worked like a charm! Hey,

Love the Beret too! I like the cards a lot, and I’d agree that imperfections can be an items charm, showing the mark of the maker. Love the Beret too!

Everywhere here is dark, noisy, crowded and full of smoke. OK, slight exaggeration but all the cafes shut by 6pm so that pretty much leaves us with just pubs and bars. Went scouting for new venues last night but I'm not sure if anyone else will like the places I like.....Your group sounds delightful. quiet, comfortable and spacious! you don’t know how much we need somewhere like that in Newcastle.

They are very pretty. :) I always like the handmade look to things like that, and usually I have to have messed it up pretty bad for it to go to the reject pile. You can always cut out parts that look okay and use them as gift tags. :) The cards look great, they remind me of winter and christmas and all sorts of things like that.
