Hi everyone! Merry Christmas-time! It's getting closer and closer now! Not much time left for me to finish all my crafty ideas! I think I might have to just let it go for this year! I hope you are doing great and enjoying the season. We have been out doing lots of activities - craft fairs, Christmas Festivals, Zoo Lights, Volunteering and more! Oh, and it was my husband's birthday this weekend too. Whew. No wonder I'm tired! It has been so nice to be out doing things in the fresh crisp air. Everyone is jolly and happy to be busy. Feels good. Today it's really windy and pouring rain and I'm trying to get things done before the power inevitably goes out. Wishing you a happy season!!
Today's post features stamps, dies and inks from one of my favorite companies - Pigment Craft Co! For my birthday, the hubs bought me the entire set of ink pads. I LOVE THEM! I got them all swatched up and I've been using them on projects. They are wonderful. Today I'm sharing my thoughts on the ink pads, and a card I made with the GORGEOUS Christmas limited edition kit!
My finished card is an A2 card base covered with my fav woodgrain paper. One layer of white cardstock and then the clean and graphic images. Simple and sweet and maybe kinda retro too.
Here are some of the ink colors..... It's a muted palette with mostly warm shades and tones. The colors are (to me) a bit retro and I looooove that. I don't have any of these colors in any of my other ink pad collections. They are super SUPER juicy and with the foam top so you just barely need any ink for good coverage.
Here's my little swatch booklet on a ring! I used my mini tags from Doodlebug (supplies listed at the bottom of my post) and extra thick cardstock. ONE stamp with a heart - see that beautiful coverage???
One of my favorite sentiment sets from Pigment too!!
Here's a close up of two of the pads.... Really saturated and nice, smooth foam pads. I think they are going to last a long time. I am starting to prefer this type of pad over the cloth ones with the threads....
I am particularly drawn to all the greens and blues in this ink collection. SO many pretty choices.
And here's a little shot of my front porch! I love poinsettias!
Okay - that's it for today! Happy Monday! Have an awesome week! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!! XOXO
