Today is @teamspellbinders release day and I'm participating with this elegant Copperplate card. The sentiment is designed by master calligrapher @pascribe. It's a BetterPress plate that I foiled with Glimmer Foil in Skybright. I love seeing these elegant shapes in pastel colors!

The gorgeous art deco background is the BetterPress of the Month for March. It's called Quilted Memories.

#sylvin

This is a mini zine page detailing how to write in sylvin branch form!

Letters that branch upwards like a growing plant!

Let's see... the page for geblin will help you understand better.

There is a variation for v instead of f,
and another for c instead of Ch,
if you are trying to use these to write english instead of geblin.

The last character is for Tzren, echo, repeat.

The lower right shows the letter order.

Ascending, first two characters of a line branch right.

Read out to in.

Consonants to outside, vowels to inside.

Consonant lines can have no vowel following them.

For a vowel not preceeded by a consonant, a null pointer line is added.
There is a null pointer for base vowels a, e, o
and another for derivative vowels u, w, i, y

If you have any questions, I would be happy to help!
Imagine using them as campaign materials, or for journaling!

geblin and numbers/letters, for reference to letter/number order.
