ReplyDeleteLoving the calligraphy, Candice - it's such a great skill to develop and really makes your card stand out as unique. The pig is fabulously quirky... I have seen him somewhere, but can't help with where, sorry! Cracking card!

Do wish you'd stop calling your calligraphy an 'attempt'! It's beautiful! LOVE the flying pig too. Those are often to be seen outside our windows and it's nice to know this is a global thing :) Hope you have a great time seeing your family. Jenny x
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! Having learnt calligraphy when I was very young, still at primary school (sadly now it is becoming a lost art) I can tell you that you are VERY good at it! I have been trying to find an email address for you as I would like to email you about something, could you email me? The link is on my blog....Thanks so much! Love Laura xxxxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteGreat card Candice, love your calligraphy (simply superb) and the flying pig is cool too. Thanks for the how to, I need to start doing simpler projects and this will inspire me to do so.

PS. I am going to re-open my Recycle challenge again soon and as part of it I am having a bit of a Blog Candy event on my Doodle Pieces. I would love to have you come play along. :)
That's a great card, interesting fold and wonderful writing. The flying pig looks like the one from Graphic45 - Hampton Art. "Olde Curiosity Shoppe Collection"
