Thank you cards.....

Here's one for you guys. What pen did you use to write your Christmas thank you cards? This year I used my first fountain pen, a Monteverde Invincia deluxe in carbon fiber with a 1.1mm stub. I love this nib. It's very crisp and smooth!

Thank you, Richard. And all the best to you too.

By the way, our cards are written by the missus, and when I need to sign I mostly use a Pelikan 600 LE inked in black Waterman, and with a Mottishaw fine stub nib.

All the cards we buy tend to have a shiny surface meaning my FP is next to useless so have to resort to my RB.

I'm not even sure where to look to get cards etc that don't have this shiny surface?

I use these! Reproductions of Library of Congress Card Catalog Cards. The backs are blank and perfect for writing notes.
