This was to thank the president of our calligraphy guild as he hands over the gavel to another leader.
(No, I don't do calligraphy, but my husband does. This is a retired Stampin' Up! stamp. I still enjoy going to their meetings because they have workshops on cool background techniques.)
This is lovely. I have this retired stamp, and would like to try this Ombre Technique. However when I tried to open your first link, I got an error page. Can you please double-check it? Thanks so much! :-) LM
