Pen & Ink and ABCs

Lots of new things this week with calligraphy or pen & ink or children's alphabet themes.

ATC by Lenna Andrews using the Chalkboard collage sheet and Pen & Ink stamp set.

Four New Collage Sheets:

- Chalkboard
ABC book covers and illustrations with kids writing on chalkboards (see pics on left and right).

- Animals in School
Sweet and funny pics. Peter Rabbit looks especially upset by the whole "school" proposition.

- Linen Books
Some lovely samples of vintage fabric books, including some ABCs. Would work well printed on fabric.

- ABC Books #3
More beautiful samples of ABC books from my collection, including some funny vintage rhymes.

 
Lots of New Stamps (Clear and Red Rubber)

Gothic Arch by Keron Lee using the Pen & Ink stamp set and the Art Nouveau Advertising collage sheet.

- New Pen & Ink Clear Stamp Set on a new clear stamp page. (If you only want to see clear stamps, here's the place.)

- "The Alphabet" Set on a new Vintage Lettering stamp page.

- Penmanship
Based on a beautiful antique book in my collection. A single stamp in a smaller size than the same image on the clear stamp set.

- 3 Pen Nibs
A single red rubber image from the clear stamp set. Designed to stamp repeatedly to form a halo.

- Self Instructor
A book cover with fine calligraphic details. Makes nice texture behind another image.

- Cursive Writing
The alphabet from a calligraphy sample book. A larger version is on "The Alphabet" Set

- Principles of Writing
Another calligraphy book cover; in French.
 

One of the stamps from the new Words & Phrases page.

Some text/phrase stamps (not necessarily in the calligraphy vein, but fun):

- Silence Your Inner Critic

- It's not trash. It's "ephemera".

- This better not go in the trash.

- Pretending to be a Normal Person Day After Day is Exhausting
