When is a moth trap not a moth trap?

In order to write neat place cards for the wedding, we bought a new fountain pen along with a refillable cartridge and brown ink. Each person's name was printed in Vladimir script onto an A4 sheet - but then we needed a way to trace the names onto each place card.

Since the card was quite thick, the only solution was to use a lightbox, but we didn't have one. Fortunately we currently have Helen's dad's moth trap - and so we managed to make a makeshift light box out of a lamp, plastic crate and the perspex from the trap.


This made the process much easier, and the place cards ended up looking really good.


The Bride and Groom place cards were written in Edwardian script.
