Flowers, leaves, butterflies and bugs.

Suitable for bookbinding, box covering and lining, picture framing, furniture and the general paper crafts.

Our Tip: Primarily made as a covering paper for books and boxes, this also looks fabulous mounted and framed. 

Print: Relief Printed and hand stencilled.

Relief printing is where a printing block or plate has ink applied to its non-recessed surface which is brought into contact with paper. When pressure is applied, the non-recessed surface will leave ink on the paper, whereas the recessed areas will not. 

Stencilling - A stencil is made by cutting out the required shapes in a heavy oiled cardstock to match the area where added colour is desired. An translucent ink is dabbed over the hole in the stencil leaving the colour making a multiple coloured, highly decorative print. 

In this instance, multiple stencils were made to apply the extra colours to the main black print colour.

Print Size: Large, 17⅞ x 13¾ inch, 455 x 350mm (approx, excl border)
