Thank You



Just a quick card share today.  This is another card that I made for a call recently that wasn't picked up.

The sentiment is hand drawn and then colored with Distress Inks and a water brush.

This one was definitely a stretch for me.  As a perfectionist, I hate making mistakes and I feel like that makes my hand kind of shaky when I am doing hand lettering.....curious as to whether or not you guys have tried hand lettering.  It's definitely not my comfort zone, but I do love the look (especially when it's not mine, ha!).

Excited that today is already Friday, two day work weeks are definitely for me!

Have a great weekend all!

Supplies Use
Paper/Cardstock:  CTMH - White Daisy, Twilight and Pacifica Cardstock
Ink:  Distress Inks - Evergreen Bough and Salty Ocean
Other:  Ranger - Waterbrush; American Crafts - Black Journaling Pen;
Lawn Fawn - Vivid Triple Pack Cord; MME - Enamel Dots; Punky Sprouts - Button

  15. Hi Miriam,
    First, let me just say that your card is stunning!
    Second, what you wrote about your handwriting and hand lettering reflects 100% how I feel about the matter Ha! I do like to challenge myself though so I think I'm going to try! Thanks for the push ;)

  16. So pretty, Miriam! Really love the gradient effect with your lettering, which is gorgeous by the way ;), and the twine and epoxy bits add just the right amount of texture!

  17. Great job with the lettering, Miriam! I find that I have to go quickly. If I try lettering in a slow and purposeful way, I get shaky and it's not smooth. Counter intuitive, I know.
