I admit it. I'm being awfully tight on the purse strings lately. I needed some magenta paper to line an envelope with, so I brushed some ink over some loose sheets of tracing paper that I have. It actually works pretty well as long as you don't drench the paper in too much ink. (And would work great lining vellum envelopes.) The colour is so vibrant. I think the best part was trying to make the right hue. The paper towel I used to blot on is pretty fun, too!

Breaking out the inks, combined with my recent love affair with my fountain pen got me thinking about an ink post. Whether on its own or used in mixed media, ink is one of my favourite mediums. It can be soft like in this Beautiful Day print by Studio Mela. I love the white space and the colours. It also reminds me of Marichelle's bunting. I'm always drawn to a good pen and ink piece, like this I think you are...heart print by L'Daim Fille. Good ol' black and white with some sweet text and lovely line work. Added plus? It's only $3! Rounding out today's finds is a fantastic mixed media piece, this Today Is the Day print from Stephanie Corfee's shop. The colours are gorgeous and dreamy. I love her little description that "today is the day to fall in love, finish a book, snuggle your kids." Today is the day for anything and everything, don't you think?

Hoping to help spread the word, visual artist Katie Daisy is seeking representation! I love her style; so whimsical and colourful. Take a look through her portfolio; you'll see what I mean. (I especially love her type work.)

And be sure to stop by D*S for our guest post today. More paper love! And a guest appearance by a certain cursive typewriter.

Wishing you all a wonderful Wednesday!
