Calligraphy-worthy Paper
June 25, 2015For the last couple of months I've been pushing myself with flourishes through names. I started off thinking I could do it every day, but it happens a few times a week now. Check out #calligraphynameoftheday to see all the posts. I love taking time to write out someone's name and discovering the meaning behind it.
Finding a good card stock that comes in fun colors that holds up to various inks and pens isn't easy. Several months ago a friend mentioned in passing that she could get me some "amazing" card stock. I tried it. I love it. And here it is.
Most scrapbooking card stocks have this obnoxious canvas/linen texture that's impossible to write on if you have a sharp pen. And it all bleeds. Everything bleeds. Drives me bonkers. This paper rocks. It even works well with bleach!
Until now, it hasn't been available online. Check out My Mind's Eye for 2 packs of this awesome paper in 2 different colorways: Tropical and Wildberry. They've got loads more colors than the ones I've pulled for these packs, so speak up if there's something you'd like to see!
