Ink & Quill Pen + Thank You Card

Check it out! I got a quill pen and ink set plus a journal as a cool gift….a long time ago. I tested out the nib and the ink. Then, I made a Thank You card using the pen and a page from the journal. In this video I also show a deckled edge technique we used to do as kids as well as attaching a ribbon and bow to one level (the top level) of the card front.

There are a few tips and tricks that can help you make creative embellishments for your cards, journals and scrapbook pages.
