Colorful Landscape

 

Hi!

I've wanted to make this card for a long time now

after seeing {this} and {this}.

 

 

I die cut a bunch of triangles.

Then I scored them down the middle and folded them.

While they were folded, I snipped off varying amounts from each triangle to create the different sizes.

 

 

Love it, don't know how I'd mail it, but I love it!

 

Thanks for stopping by today :)

 

It's so warm and beautiful today that we took a break

from laundry and tiling to take a Sunday Drive!

Wplus9 {PURE} Color Comparison

 

Raspberry Fizz

Sweet Gelato WPlus9 Pure Color Dye Ink

Scarlet Jewel

Cranberry Crush WPlus9 Pure Color Dye Ink

 

I've said it before and I'll say it again....

I love dye inks!

These WPlus9 Pure Color Dye Inks are no exception, but I'm finding that not all dye inks are created equal. 

I have been using these colors on projects I've shared recently

 and letting you know what I like about them:

Smooth, , solid, even coverage

Deep, rich color

Stay wet long enough to heat emboss

Unique colors

I find that the colors are unique, yet work with other ink, cardstock, and

 embellishments I already have.

Many of you have commented that you think the colors are beautiful,

but wonder how they compare to the PTI inks you already have.

Do you want/need them?

The short answer is, yes!

  None are perfect matches which is great to fill in some gaps in your color collection.

 Yet, they work beautifully back to those color families

Here's a side by side with PTI inks that are in the same family.

You can see that the WPlus9 inks are deeper and more opaque which a feature I really love.

No splotchy images with these inks!

These two are the most unique. 

I didn't have anything in my stash to compare them to!

I hope this helps give you an idea if the WPlus9 inks are for you!

 

Last week Dawn introduced you to Joni Nina Andaya and shared her amazing  projects all week long using the WPlus9 April Release.

I hope you'll stop by Dawn's blog and check it out!

 

Hope you are having a wonderful weekend.

 

{PURE} Color Combo #3

 

There's a lot going on in April. 

It's also my sister-in-law's birthday next week.

She loves vintage/country style.

I thought this would be perfect for her.  It has an antique handkerchief feel to it.

Have a great day!

{PURE} Color Combo #2

 

Tomorrow is our close friends' son's birthday. 

He will be 8!

 

 

For his card I used another new favorite color combination that I think is perfect for boy/masculine cards.  To create the stripes I used a stencil, ink, and little daubers.

The ink when sponged onto cardstock colors completely without much work.

I have a project to share soon where it truly looks like colored cardstock, but is white cardstock colored with a PURE Color Dye Ink. 

At first it may appear splotchy, but as it soaks into the paper it really evens out and the dauber strokes are undetectable!

The Sweet Nectar appears a bit orange in these photos, but is actually more of a melon color.

{PURE} Color Combo #1

 

The first color combination that I really love is

 Appletini Dye Ink, Sweet Gelato Dye Ink, and Sweet Nectar Dye Ink.

I used them to create a card {OK, two} for my parent's anniversary.

Next week they will be celebrating 44 years!

 

 

These colors are so vibrant, perfect for spring.

One quality of these Wplus9 dye inks that I really like is that they stamp much more opaque than other dye inks that I have.  I love that you get nice, solid, even coverage.

Bonus: The ink stays wet on the paper just long enough that you can heat emboss it too!

 

 

I used Folk Art Florals to create a vine-like pattern.

I'm not sure which card I will give them.

Which do you think?

 

 

I'll be back with another color combination soon.

Have a great day!

Pure Color {Friday Inspiration File #162}

 

I love dye ink. 

It's my favorite kind of ink to work with and I use it on 90% of my projects.

Now, of course, I can't live without a few Distress Inks and my Versamark, oh and my Versafine,

 and um.......an awesome white pigment ink and........;)

I have had a little time now to play around with the WPlus9 PURE COLOR Ink.

They stamp beautifully and the colors work so well together!

I can't wait to share my favorite color combinations with you in the next few days.

For a limited time Dawn is offering an awesome FREE stamp set with the purchase of the 10 color ink collection.
