I always include a handwritten note with my etsy or madeit sales and love this little print from Lena Corwin's book, "Printing by hand". Sadly, I haven't used the book much but it was well worth it and there are many projects on my 'to do' list! This is one pattern of hers I have used over and over though.
I made the stamp from adhesive foam from the $2 shop on a block of wood and used acrylic paints to stamp my cards, not ink. I would probably use two layers of foam next time to make the stamp sit higher off the block! I also used this print on a little bag a while back.
What is everyone else up to today?

You've chosen such pretty colours. They look terrific.
Lovely, such a simple pattern with such great effect :)
They're beautiful, love the colour combinations.
Lovely pattern, I think it has an asian style, simple and soft.
Gorgeous print, and lovely cards. I so enjoy seeing photos of printmaking, wish I could find more time for it myself.
Very very pretty :)
Such pretty cards and a really beautiful design. I've been meaning to get on with some lino printing thanks for the inspiration. x

Great design and a really effective finish. Did you just use a knife to cut it out?
Thanks ladies! I actually used Nail scissors to cut out the foam Trudi :-) It was the neatest way to cut such small shapes :-)
They look lovely. The colours really suit your creations.
