In this case I decided to make a small pamphlet journal (seemed like the right thing to do considering we are studying pens all day-LOL). I used masking tape to get a strong edge on the left, and a Tim Holtz dots stencil to create the design on the right edge. I actually just used a spatula to push different color stickles through the stencil onto the black cardstock, and then just picked it up to let it dry for 30 minutes. Since we are talking 'fountain pens' I filled the journal with my favorite fountain pen friendly paper - Tomoe River (it's amazing - no feathering, no bleed through, but whisper thin at the same time)!
These pamphlets are really easy to make, there is a video for the book itself (not the stencil technique) on my YouTube channel here:

Awesome job using that stencil to replicate the colors on that pretty pen. I didn't see any prices on these pens. I like the one I used to inspire me, but am afraid it would probably be even more expensive. YIKES!!
