Gel pens look so cool on dark paper.

You might have seen my Design Roots contest envelope the other day, and are now thinking this envelope looks similar. That's because it is. I first tested my white gel pens on these red envelopes for my Grammie. I test a lot of envelope designs on her because I know she will enjoy all of them. These are some other examples:

If you are every looking to draw on dark paper, I recommend these Sakura pens. You can also use white ink with calligraphy, but I have struggled on that front. The ink is either too thick or too thin. With gel pens, it's no mess, no fuss.

I tried this swirly design, and I really like how it turned out.

Not a lot of rhyme or reason to the doodles, just swirls and leaves.
