A Little V-day Calligraphy

February 2, 2011
I just completed a little calligraphy project for a client for Valentine's day. This sweet couple is celebrating their 10th anniversary. She wanted me to put their initials inside a heart, which I think is a fabulous idea. I think I may use this for my own Valentine's day celebrations. That is, of course, if Felix hasn't come by then. ;) The writing looks much prettier in person. For some reason the lighting on the paper looks really stark. I mixed orange and burgundy inks together to create more of a rose red. I'm really getting in the mood to do something fun for Valentine's day. Especially since I've got that 6 inch heart stamp. I really need to put it to use . . . and SOON!
