Hi - Hope you're having a great weekend. Jean Okimoto here and - surprise, surprise - it's not a card this time! I love playing with color and this idea began as a birthday card - but I'm keeping it for a happy infusion of color therapy when the sun's not shining here. Or when the rescue puppy and resident old puppy won't stop barking, like they are right now.
The new ColorBox Limited Edition Pigment Inkpads are featured here - five of them - Cupid, Pool, Iris, Turtle and Pepper. Spellbinders' Tweets + Twigs M-Bossabilities Reversible Embossing Folder had a great pattern for a random, inky blend of the pigment inks. Embossed Pearl Watermark Twinkle adds a shimmery glaze. The Candy Store set from Buttons Galore had the perfect assortment of colors. It's all about color.
