Any holiday is an excuse {as if I needed one} for a calligrapher to make a fuss with paper and ink and fancy. White ink is maybe my favorite ink with which to play because it’s good at taking direction from a nib and my whims. Before long, I had filled a page with a lot of sweet words. I knew I wanted this {above} to be a card, so I gave these swirls some ample real estate on the sheet of red card stock.

A few slides of the paper cutter later, and I had a pretty card to give to a friend.

I hope your day was happy and filled with good things. And that you felt {most of all} very loved.
