“Pigment or Dye?”

“Pigment or Dye?” features techniques for using and choosing between pigment and dye inks. 

New artwork for my card class this month.

I found these ideas on Pinterest and Splitcoastampers

I made the first one using CTMH's Avonlea papers.  I added Chocolate and Dessert Sand card stock.  I used the Artiste Cartridge to cut out the shapes under the ribbon rose.  I stamped the tag with the Avonlea workshop stamp set in Dessert Sand and Juniper ink. I sponged all the edges with Dessert Sand Ink then distressed the edges with CTMH's Edge Distressor.  I added 2 large Rhinestones in the top left corner.  

I also added Chocolate Bakers twine to the tag.

 I made this card using Family Tree D1526.  I stamped the tree in Black Stazon ink on the Lagoon card stock.  I used CTMH's new Lagoon Pigment ink to stamp the swirl on the Black card stock.  I used a White gel pen to dot the edges of the Black card stock.  I stamped the Butterfly from A Flutter a in Black Stazon on the Lagoon card stock and cut it out.  I backed  the black card stock in Topiary card stock.  I dotted around the lagoon swirl on the edge of the black card base.  I used Foam tape to the back of the scalloped circle to give the card some dimension.

I hope to have the other 2 cards made in the next few days.  

Please leave a comment to let me know what you think about these cards.  

Happy Scrappin',

CTMH retiring Colors--Available ONLY While Supplies last!!

Close to My Heart has taken a long hard look at our 60 colors and narrowed it down to 40 fabulous shades! This means that many colors are retiring, and I want to post a list of them for you in case your favorite is there. You may want to stock up on re-inker, ink pads, and card stock sooner than later, because once they're gone, they're gone! Don't assume they'll make it over to the websites at discounted prices. Many consultants are going to be ordering what they can too! SHOP ONLINE TO GET THESE ITEMS!!

RETIRING Ink refils, Paper and marker COLORS AS OF JULY 31, 2012: 

Holiday red
Tulip
Sunflower
Sunny yellow
Sunkiss yellow
Key lime
Garden green
Dutch blue
Heavenly blue
Moonstruck
Spring iris
Lilac mist
Amethyst
Petal
Pansy purple
Vineyard berry
Garnet
Brown bag
Vanilla Cream
Parchment
Taffy
Baby pink
Grey flannel
Grey wool


If you own the ink pads in any of these colors, I recommend purchasing the re-inker for that ink pad, and that way you'll be able to continue using your favorite color long after it's gone! If there is a card stock color you love, I'd stock up on that too.

Remember these are ONLY Available while supplies last.

Happy Scrapin',
