Gold Calligraphy Place Cards with Metallic Watercolor & Cotton Paper

I earn small commissions for purchases made through links in this post. Proceeds help me to continue producing free content.

Happy Friday! Today’s YouTube video is a peaceful one about making place cards using handmade paper by Indian Cotton Paper, Co., and Finetec metallic watercolor. After such a busy week, I needed something really chill and soothing.

Get a cup of coffee, sit back, and relax. It’s finally the weekend!

My YouTube channel is where I post bite-sized tutorials and demonstrations in hand lettering. I release a brand new video every Friday! If you’d like to see them on your feed right when they go live, please subscribe to my YouTube channel.
