I always wanted a Lamy 2000 fountain pen, as I have heard lots of great things about them especially on SBRE Brown's and Goulet Pens website and YouTube channels. The Lamy 2000 was first made in 1966 and that is the year of my birth, so that really made it special for me. My husband loves Pilot Metropolitans and asked for a set (fountain pen and pencil). He already had a few of them and so far that is the only fountain pen he is interested in. You may notice that I picked up a TWSBI USA this week. Lots of inky fun waiting for us to enjoy.
I decided to make my husband a card with a fountain pen theme to go with his gifts. I made a mask of a heart and stamped ink splatters inside for for the heart image. The fountain pen stamp is by 100 Proof Press. It was a hit and I was glad that I could merge my two hobbies of stamping and fountain pens.
After we use our pens and ink, I will share how they did!
May your fingers be inky, and your heart happy!

Happy Wedding Anniversary! I love the clever way in which you created the heart on the card, and look forward to hearing more about your pens. Blessings!
Hi Winnie
I haven't been by for a while, glad I dropped in so I can wish you and your hubby a happy anniversary. I am interested in seeing what you make with your new pen and inks.
I adore fountain pens! I only own one, though. I have a Lami Safari, which works wonderfully, and looks rugged. I'd love a Lamy Studio fountain pen, though. So elegant! Your card turned out perfectly.
Wow! Who knew that they made images of fountain pens. I don't know much about them, but my lawyer boss has quite a collection. I think writing with a fountain pen is becoming a lost art.
I too love fountain pens...such a great way to write, although a bit messy, but a labor of love. What a great card to combine the two loves. Your heart shaped splatter shape is amazing and looks fantastic on this lovely black base with your rounded corners. Well done!
Happy Anniversary! Cute card
Happy Anniversary! That is so nice that your hubby likes fountain pens too. Can't wait to hear how you like your new pen. Your card is so perfect for this special anniversary! Clever ink splatter heart with pens, and so elegant in black, white and red. Thanks for sharing. Hugs, Geri

Happy Anniversary, Winnie! I love this post! The two of you share such an incredible creative touch with the pens, such a forgotten art, really.
