Print the invitation on cardstock, leaving room for embellishment on the left hand side and trim to size. Apply clear watermark ink to the Organic Flourish letterpress plate. Apply white pigment ink to the same letterpress plate, carefully place a piece of colored cardstock on top of the plate and deboss using your Big Shot, BIGkick or Vagabond machine. Remove the cardstock and set aside to dry. Once dry, trim to size and attach to the invitation. Cut a strip of sheet music and adhere to the invitation. Apply clear watermark ink to the Organic Flourish letterpress plate. Apply yellow pigment ink to the same letterpress plate, carefully place a piece of colored cardstock on top of the plate and deboss using your Big Shot, BIGkick or Vagabond machine. Remove the cardstock and set aside to dry. Once dry, trim to size and attach to the invitation. Apply clear watermark ink to the Rustic Elegant Flowers letterpress plate. Apply yellow pigment ink to the bird corner of the same letterpress plate, carefully place a piece of cardstock on top of the plate and deboss using your Big Shot, BIGkick or Vagabond machine. Remove the debossed paper and set aside to dry. Trim around the design using a circle cutter. Mat on larger yellow cardstock and cut again using a circle cutter. Adhere to the invitation.
If using regular cardstock with the Ink-its letterpress plate and not getting the impression you desire, place a thin piece of craft foam between the top cutting pad and your paper. Use pigment ink layered over clear watermark ink and medium weight (or heavier) watercolor paper - 100 lbs or more - for best results.
