Pressing paper today

in handmade •  6 years ago 

We're finishing a custom business cards order and I am pressing the handmade paper today! A few days ago I made the paper from off cuts from a recent custom ivory colored envelopes we did. So I recycled the off cuts and added a pinch of cornflower petals in the pulp. It results in a beautiful paper!

Pressing is needed so we can stamp the paper afterwards. In the back of the photo you can see the original natural surface of the handmade paper. The front cards are already pressed.
