Fun challenge to-day. I always knew that all those handwriting classes in public school would pay off! Who needs sentiment stamps when you can write your own!! Good thing I kept my calligraphy pen! LOL! I love this stamp set and have been using it on almost every card I have made in the last while. I also have been digging out old ink pads instead of getting caught up in the 'latest colour' trends.

You were someone I expected would be able to produce beautiful lettering . I have (well, technically DH has) books and pens but I've never done anything with them. The soft floral images are lovely for Spring - you've even captured the shower that has just speckled my windows!!

Gorgeous card. Love the hand-written "hello". The flowers are beautiful. Love the hand-written frame and how it breaks for the foliage that crosses the line. Great colors! The gem is so pretty. Wonderful card. TFS

If my handwriting looked like yours, I would NEVER buy a sentiment stamp!! This is just lovely with the simple hand-drawn frame around the riot of blooms and the little pop of sparkle from your added gem.

Gorgeous! You and I got very different results from our handwriting classes ;) The flower spray is beautiful, I can see why you're employing this stamp set so much. Beautiful CAS card.

WOW, your lettering is beautiful!! And good for you for using whatever ink pads you have around. I also think it's nice to repeatedly use a stamp set and not just the few times I often do. You have created a lovely card today. :>)
