Full Bloom Christmas

Here are my letter I’s for both Alphabet swaps – first the Postcard swap for Lots to Do and the 4x4 for the KCUK Chunky book.
On this one there are no real nibs – just lots of Glossy Accents. Love the colours, though – Wild Honey, Tumbled Glass, Broken China and Stormy Sky Distress Inks. Coloured with Tombow pens, my favourites.
This is the one I’m entering into Theme Thursday’s ‘Square’ theme. It’s VERY chunky cos there are 8 REAL nibs on it!! Just hope they don’t drop off, lol. There were nine but I lost one, so I used Glossy Accents on the 9th nib. Wish I’d coloured the bottle a bit more on the 4x4 because I like the way it turned out on the 6x4, but I’ve embossed it now, so too late :( Distress and Adirondack inks used on the background and yes, it was deliberately distressed around the edges and corners.

Beautiful cards, Cath! Every detail is perfect.
Wish you a nice weekend!
Totally impressive pieces. I love nibs, so both of these pieces really spoke to me. Looks like you "altered" a few of the real ones, too.
Hi Cath, thanks so much for your comment on my last card, I do and have written for Craft Stamper and still do a lot of work for Making Cards and Stampers Sampler. Sometimes difficult to place a name, or if you are like me I'm hopeless with putting a name to a face LOL, my age. Love your pen nib/ink cards, really individual, love them. Have a lovely evening, Tracy Evans x
very cool and artsy!
Brilliant, love the real nibs. xx
I was looking to see if any were real. I remember having some nibs from your store (in amongst my precious stash!)The bottle looks as though it is 3D. Lynne x
