Well, I’m back! I decided I needed to get a little stampy today and did the SCS Color Challenge. I was a little hesitant about the colors, but I must admit that they are terrific together. I would never have thought to put kraft with black and blue. I also have to tell you that I had forgotten how much I love to stamp with pigment ink. I now have all the new Ranger pigment inks, and they are quickly becoming a favorite. The dimension and vibrancy they add to a card are what I’ve forgotten about.

I stamped the backgrounds with Cloudy Blue pigment ink, but stamped the image panel with Cloudy Blue dye ink. The edges of the white panels are sponged with Latte. Both the image and sentiment panels are raised on mounting tape.
