Pearlized Paper and Triptik Book

Last weekend, I took a class and made Pearlized Paper using Smooch Inks. Then we used the papers as part of a Triptik Book we made. These little inks are wonderful, and I love how the book turned out.

Card for a friend

This is a card I rubberstamped for a friend that hasn't been feeling very well. I stamped it with permanent black ink and colored it with Prismacolor Pencils using only 3 colors. I used the Primacolor Blender Pencil, for the first time, to blend the colors. I like the way it turned out, and I hope that she likes it too and it brightens her day. The cardstock and stamp are both from Stampin Up.

Another Beautiful Flower

As I've mentioned before, I love flowers. So when I saw these flowers in front of my friend's house, I just had to take a picture. Their color is purple, but the picture has some blue showing through. It's not real true to their color, but they're beautiful anyway.

Keeping Calligraphy Alive

As a gift to my neighbor's young grand daughter (he's also our friend), I gave her the book, "Calligraphy For Kids" along with a Parallel Pen, a box of cartridges and a single calligraphy marker. She absolutely loved it. It's only one way to try to keep an interest in calligraphy alive. Do you have any other ideas? I would love to hear them if you do.
