Write!!!!! for CASology .....

Hello again, dear friends: This is my first ever participation on the CASology challenge blog. Their cue word for this week is WRITE, an art that is sadly disappearing. I remember my school years where we had to write everything with pen and paper and some of our teachers even ask us to write with fountain pens, I had an ink well kind of like the one on this card. We even had a Calligraphy class and we did certain exercises to teach us to write with beautiful penmanship. So, when I saw the cue word for the challenge, I immediately thought of this image, here is my card.

This beautiful image is from a  Flourishes stamp set called "From the Desk of.....", this company sadly closed it's doors about 2 years ago but I'm fortunate to own several stamp sets and this is one of them.

I stamped the image on Canson Canva water color paper with Stazon Jet Black ink and colored as always, with my SU write markers and the aqua painter. I used a bit of gold gel pen for the tip of the fountain pen and the ink well. I think this image is so romantic and reminiscent of a time where letters were written in beautiful paper, addressed and stamped and sent on their way by regular mail. Fortunately, we stampers are still doing this, by making our hand made cards and sending them to dear family and friends. Here is a close up of this pretty ink well and pen.

I hope you like this card, leave me your comments or questions, I will be happy to answer them. If you want to receive my blog posts, I invite you to subscribe to my blog, I will be thrilled if you do.

Here is the theme picture for this week's CASology challenge.Thank you so much for visiting, till next time, keep on stamping.

Hugs from Maria.
