Thanksgiving Card to "DYE" For

Hello! Hostess Tami here with a Thanksgiving card that features Stephanie Barnard ColorBox Premium Dye Inks and The {Stamps} Of Life Thanks2Fall stamp set.

ColorBox Premium Dye Inks layer beautifully! I've used them in two different ways on this card...

The focal piece was stamped using a darker ink over a lighter ink. The pumpkin was stamped first using Pumpkin Dye Ink, then the sentiment was added using Licorice Ink. When used this way, the darker color stands out against the lighter color...

For the leaves background, medium color inks - Artichoke, Mustard, Pumpkin and Chocolate - were stamped and layered over each other to create new shades where they overlap. 

Either way you use them, you'll love the looks you can achieve using ColorBox Premium Dye Inks.
