Greeting card with bird linocut

Idea and realisation: Kathleen Hauck

Art. no.	Name of article
1812100	Linoleum / wood cutting tool, set
1851006	Linoleum sheet, DIN A6, 3,2 mm
1629002	Double card, 10,5 x 15 cm, 220 g/m, 5 pcs., pearl-white
4512089	Ink pad StazOn, 6 x 9,5 cm, black
4512100	Stamp cleaner StazOn, 56 ml
1813300	Paint roller premium, Ø 30 x 120 mm
4519815	May&Berry stamp, Hello, 35 x 55 mm, white
	Additional: pencil, remaining tracing paper (e.g. 1 sheet of 1626120), motif template, paper towel

1.	Transfer the motif template to the linoleum plate using the tracing paper.
2.	Use the linocut tool to carve the pencil lines out of the plate. Then lift out the lino plate around the motif. TIP: What is not needed for the desired motif can simply be cut off the lino plate and saved for a smaller project.
3.	Now prepare the card. Colour in the motif with stamping ink. Place the card directly on the fresh colour and roll over it firmly with the roller. Make sure that the card does not slip. Optionally, you can stamp the word "Hello" next to the bird on the card. TIP: Print the first test prints on a piece of scratch paper to get a feel for the materials.
