Hi!
Calligraphy was a hobby I developed while in my early twenties. I bought a book and a pen to learn the art and used to write the sentiment in basic calligraphy, when I first started card making. Reused the pen after 22 years for the lettering on this card I made for the rector of our parish in December. It was a last minute make...so much so, that I pictured it on the cutting mat.

Supplies used:
water-colour paper
Ranger distress inks
Lawn Fawn-stitched journaling die
Platignum calligraphy pen
silver ribbon
sticker (25)
The background effect was achieved using the smooshing technique on water-colour paper. Wrote the sentiment, die cut the panel and finished off with ribbon and sticker. The inspiration for the words was from Printery House.
