Next time you need to make a happy birthday envelope for a card, look no further than this tutorial!
A calligraphy happy birthday envelope builds anticipation for the card inside! Today, I’ll walk you through how to write a simple and pretty greeting that features white calligraphy with gold accents.
To get started, you’ll need a few key supplies. Feel free to make modifications or substitutions to the list below!
First, use a ruler, a white pencil, and The Perfect Calligraphy Envelope Generator to make a pair of guidelines. Be sure to draw slant lines, too! Then, write “Happy Birthday” on the top line and your recipient’s name on the bottom line.
Next, use your favorite pen + nib combination and white ink to write over your pencil draft.
Now, give the calligraphy just a bit of glittery personality by “hugging” some of the strokes with gold watercolor.
Finish up by using a black eraser to erase your pencil lines. Be gentle! Sometimes white ink will smear if you go over it too aggressively.
I hope that this tutorial comes in handy next time you want to create a lovely birthday card presentation! Thanks very much for watching/reading, and enjoy the rest of your day.
Warmly,
