Calligraphy

A distinctive style of artistic handwriting created by using special pen nibs that allow a calligrapher to vary the thickness of a letter’s line elements; an elegant, decorative writing, developed to an art form itself, used to enhance the artistic appeal and visual beauty of handwritten papers and manuscripts.

Now, while I do not consider myself to be anywhere near the level of a calligraphist, I do firmly believe that incorporating your handwriting into your project is important!

We have our new kit in the store, A Moment in Time which is so pretty! I just love getting my Frosted Designs kits delivered right to my door each month, it's always a surprise what you get and it's always fabulous!!
A Moment in Time

I love using everything up from a kit and this Authentique Elegant Eleven paper is the first to go, I think the tone on tone print is timeless!

I love taking the sheets of Elegant Diction words and creating a sentiment from them! *TIP* Outline the words first before pulling them off the sheet!

This cool cat is also totally digging:

Koi water brush ( the small gets into all those little areas! )
and nothing could be done without my awesome Helmar Acid Free Glue and Helmar Gemstone Glue
