Write on...

Serendipity's first challenge this month was to use stamps that showed writing.... not hard since they have a great selection of stamps to choose from in that category... but I fell in love with the Feather Pen (192D), it's so swirly and elegant looking.

And since having a few teacher friends and a few friends who are avid journal writers I thought I'd make up a card that was also a gift.

Here's my card.. it was super simple, would make such great writing prizes or just a gift from the teacher, and would be great in so many color schemes, school colors, holiday colors, or favorite colors.


Supplies:
Feather Pen Serendipity Stamp (192D)
Three coordinating pens
Three colors of cardstock to match pens
Coordinating Ink
White or other coordinating letter stickers

Directions:
* Cut card base to 4"x4" make two mats in coordinating colors.
* Cut a strip of paper to go around pens whatever size you need to hold pens you choose... Glue three colored strips together and score into a box, and adhere to card front.
* Stamp feather pen and cut out. Adhere to top of pen holder.
* Use letter stickers to spell out Write on.

Amy, this is fantastic! What a super idea! I love how you coordinated the pens into the design - I love it when a card doubles as a gift! Thanks for the inspiration and great idea!
