Winter Wishes Card with Re-inkers

Hello! I’m Alison Heikkila and I’ve got my latest YouTube video for Imagine to share with you today. We’re going to use dye re-inkers on a Gel Press Plate with a pretty stencil to make some cool wintery monoprints. This is one of those instances where I wanted to just keep pulling prints, but I thought you’d want to see a finished card this time.
