How long does it take to hammer a design for one card?

Check out this unedited video for a real-speed look at the hammering process, followed by a timelapse of drawing the details (if only I could actually draw that fast!) What You’ll Need: • Pre-printed 140 lb watercolor card (thinner paper won’t absorb moisture or hold its shape) • A piece of thick, flexible plastic (I cut mine from grocery containers) • A regular steel hammer with a flat head (8-10 oz) • Botanicals: Chrysanthemum flowers (face down), Fern (face up), and Coleus leaves (both sides release pigment) I start hammering from the top of the card and work my way down, holding everything in place for a crisp print with cleaner edges. Once done, I let the card dry under some weight in books—this helps keep it flat. A few days later, I outline the design with a black gel pen for extra detail. If you’d like to give this a go, check out our DIY kit in the shop—each kit makes 10 (5x7) cards plus a set of affirmation cards! Enjoy watching the hammering in real-time, and see my drawing in quick timelapse. Let me know if you try this technique.
