I wanted to revisit the January 2025 BetterPress Kit of the Month in watercolor. It’s called @teamspellbinders Take Flight and includes two butterflies as well as three sentiments. I love that all the press plates come with dies!

Find out how I pulled off this slightly chaotic card in complementary colors on my blog at https://valleyoakpaper.com/2025/watercolor-butterflies/ https://www.instagram.com/p/DJRdUrJBiAe/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #spellbindersclubkits #neverstopmaking #takeflight #watercolorcards

Absolutely delighted to have sold a set of all six Take Flight prints!

If you buy six you only pay for five, one is completely free.

These prints are screenprinted and lino printed. The colours are screenprinted and the black is linoprinted.

I'm struggling a bit at the moment so not posting much.

Here is the other Take Flight print I made last year - the Tawny Owl.

This is supposed to be at night so the blue background is a kind of midnight blue.

About a year ago I printed the final two Take Flight birds. This is the goldfinch.

They are all flying (except for the magpie which is looking for things). I tried to show them in their natural environments.

They are screenprinted and lino printed. The colours are screenprinted and the black is lino printed.

It's two years since I printed this Take Flight Blue Tit print and three others in the series.

I'm really happy with how these turned out. The colours are screen printed and the black detail is a linocut print.

CONKLIN WITH THE CATCH!!!!!!!

And Jets have life.

So, one last chance for the Jets coming up…..

HOW DID GARRETT WILSON HOLD ONTO THAT?!?!?!!?!?!

Caught by Tyler Conklin and drive continues for Jets.

Oh Raiders…. Why……..

First down Jets, and yeah, that’s clear fumble…… if you slow it down, and recovered by Jets….. barely…….

And the drive stalls again.

The kick by Greg Zuerlein is good, so Jets extend the lead further.

Wilson, in trouble, has to scramble, and TOWARDS THE ENDZONE, FIRST AND GOAL JETS!!!!!!

The kick by Greg Zuerlein is good, and Jets strike first!

Big Run by Garrett Wilson, and Jets are in business.
