So I had the pleasure of writing on these delightful, unique place cards from Dear Annabelle NY. It was a for an intimate birthday celebration, and these adorable cards, certainly will add a little flavor and personality to the special event. I love the quality of the paper, so smooth and nice to write on..a calligrapher’s dream. Thank you Dear Annabelle!
Sand Dollar Place Cards
Happy New Year! With 2020 behind us, we have a fresh start and its time to get creating again! Even during a challenging pandemic, I was blessed to have the opportunity to create beautiful Sand Dollar Place Cards for a stunning wedding at the Breakers Palm Beach. At first I was a little intimidated by these beauties, but with God’s divine help I managed to pull it off. You have to research which types of ink will not bleed on the shells and you definitely need to find the right nib that will allow you to write effectively on them. It can be a little challenging because you also need to hold them at the right angle and spray with a fixative beforehand. I was pleased how they turned out!
AGATES PLEASE!
There is something so unique and pretty to use these beautiful agate rocks to personalize your special event. They come in all sorts of different sizes and shapes…they will go with just about any theme you may have for a wedding, reception, party, or special occasion. I found that at first, they are not that easy to write on in calligraphy. Using the proper ink and nib with them is key. I am using a Hiro nib and Dr. Ph Martin’s Bleed Proof White.
