TIO #79 All the write postage!!!!!

This week it's Zoe's turn to start the dream  "All the write postage" at DragonsDream TIO Challenge. I've inked up my background in a mixture of distress inks including, bundled sage, brushed corduroy, dried marigold, wild honey and black soot. All of the stamps I've used this week are from different sets by Tim Holtz. Couldn't resist adding the pen nibs, although they will be taken off and popped back in their box. They are from a collection that belonged to my Grandpa, he learned to write with them and so did I!! Check out the DragonsDream  link on my sidebar and come on over to join the challenge!

Love the colours you chose, dusty envelopes and that red ink they used to use to franc by hand... I shall also take the nibs off my one, as I don't have many and have other ideas in mind!!! Great dream

The nibs look so right there but they are such treasures you have to save them. Great vintage tag, funny how we all seem to have looked back in time for this one. XOXO Zoe

Gorgeous background, Elizabeth. And what an ingenious idea to use the nibs. I have some that aren't very vintage. I had to use such in art class and never really mastered using them. And surely I must have had that requirement in elementary/junior high school. I just don't remember, but I know writing with them was challenging.
