Hello there! Hope you're having a wonderful weekend! Today I have a card for the Hip on Handwriting challenge at the Moxie Fab World.
I love the handwriting trend, but I have to confess that at first I didn't get all the craze about paint-brushed letters. The delicate, classic callygraphy fonts were so much more appealing to me. But I guess they've grown on me after seeing them popping everywhere, so there you go: I made a card with that kind of font.
I started with a background stamped with Altenew's Painted Flowers, which is probably one of the most beautiful and well designed sets I've ever seen. I went with grey, aqua and teal for the flowers.
The brushed letters were die cut with the Cameo using this freebie alphabet. Instead of die cutting them from black cardstock, I used white cardstock and then colored it using a black copic marker. It doesn't show much in the pic, but it adds to the hand painted look.
The "Happy" comes from Hey Mr stamp set by Waffle Flower Crafts. The sentiment used for the fonts in this set is really versatile and blends in really well when combined in sentiments with other fonts.
That's it from me today! Thanks for visiting!
WOW
