And the colors from Dynamic Duos.
NOTE: The darker brown really is Soft Suede. That's one of the colors that I have the new Stampin' Up ink pads for. I have been throwing away my old pads as I got the newer ones and I am really regretting that. There are some blog conversations going around that the ink isn't as good with clear stamps. I can't say I have had coverage problems with clear stamps, but even IRL this does not look like Soft Suede. Anybody else having problems?

ReplyDeletefantastic card... love the sentiment!
ReplyDeleteCute, cute card, Kim. ;-) I don't know about the inks - I'm purchasing SU inks for the first time, so this is all I know. Your card is great, though! I love the cute little bird image with that lovely sentiment - I need to remember that more often. Thank you for joining us at Dynamic Duos. ;-)
ReplyDeleteFantabulous CAS card. Love the TAWS.
ReplyDeleteBe blessed, Beckie
This is so sweet! I love the diecut branch...and the clear gems are a perfect touch!
ReplyDeleteLove this card!! The diecut branch is perfect!
ReplyDeleteI agree..this sentiment is great. Super sweet card. I'm off to check out this set. Thanks for joining us this week at Dynamic Duos.
ReplyDeleteLove all the texture in this card. The sentiment is encouraging, especially the way you displayed it! As for SU inks, I've never gone for them because of the way the pads open and close. It seems I can never do either without getting ink all over my hands. Love their stamp sets, though.
ReplyDeleteKim, fabulous card. It took me a few minutes to figure it out, but what a sweet card to send out.
ReplyDeleteThat is a really cool sentiment and I love the way you used the negative die cut for the branch.
ReplyDeleteThe new ink pads drive me mad! Too inky and everything comes out splotchy. I'm so frustrated because I love the new In Colours (except that dirty Starfruit! LOL!) but I hardly use them because they're such a pain to work with.
I would definitely say that the new inks are darker, but I actually like that. And I haven't had any problems with coverage on clear stamps either. I had the too inky, splotchy thing that Jen Wills is talking about with the In Colour pads, but I just wiped off the excess with a paper towel and they've been fine ever since. I can't wait until I replace all the old felt pads because I feel like I have to really struggle with them to get good coverage on the stamp.
ReplyDeleteInteresting technique Kim... super card!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much

ReplyDeleteSuch a great card Kim:) Viv xx
ReplyDeleteWonderful use of both the sketch and the colours. I love the simple layout and the little bird is just too cute! Thanks for sharing your card with us at Dynamic Duos.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, Kim, this is such a caring sentiment ... and I love how you've emphasised it here. Love the sweet bird and branch too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info on SU inks ... I have just six inkpads ... black, white and grey (none of them SU). I'm planning on moving to full colour service but haven't settled on any one make yet so the timing of your comments is perfect! Anita :)
