Day 4 Giveaway: Calligraphy
Filed under Cat's Away... 2010, Giveaways, Sale
Note: most of the links on this post no longer work, as we moved to a new Web site in 2018. But you can try searching on the same names (as links below) on the new site.

Today’s Giveaway started with a bit of leftover paper from a past kit and grew as I wandered around spying all the goodies in stock with a pen-and-ink or lettering theme.
Note: all the indented items are included in the Giveaway. There are some additional (related) things just put on sale that are not in the Giveaway (down at the bottom of this page).
Also note: there will be 1 runner-up for today’s Giveaway. The 4 items in the runner-up’s package are shown at the bottom of this post.

Runner-Up’s Package
)
Slightly different than the Giveaway (regarding the stamps included in the package). Two of the items in the runner’s up package are the same (a yard of 3/8″ Olive Striped Ribbon and a sheet of the sold out Avignon Paper) but the rubber stamp set is placed by:
Penmanship Rubber Stamp
On Sale! Based on a beautiful antique book in Leslie’s collection. That’s a cherub holding a pen nib in the center “C” of the word “Compendium.”
and
Self Instructor Rubber Stamp
On Sale! Fine calligraphic details (including doves) and an almost lacey border. Makes nice texture behind another image.
Note: Most of the sale links from this page go to a page showing short-term sale items in conjunction with this Giveaway.
Here’s the recap of the Giveaway Rules. And check yesterday’s post for some Steampunk items that are still on sale.
