Stamping Layered Ink Garden Prints

Christmas in July, back-to-school, fall fashions...don't forget it's still summer!  Jean Okimoto here - with a trio of quick cards in bright summer colors.

ColorBox Archival Dye Inkpads are perfect for stamping on glossy cardstock - they dry quickly, clearly and brightly in just a few seconds.  They layer beautifully, creating the illusion of shadows and depth.  All of this in a dye inkpad!  See their great colors here.
