A day of play with Pigment Craft Co.

Hello my friends!  Glad you stopped by today - I had a few wonderful play days with some new inks from Pigment Craft Co. and some lovely additions to my PCC stash!

I'll keep the chat to a minimum... if you have any questions, please contact me directly, as your comments sometimes turn up as 'no reply blogger' - so sad when I can't respond!

Ready. set. scroll!

A very old Neat & Tangled tag - but such a pretty place to hang this
PCC beautiful berry sprig!  I found the prettiest glittery sentiments in my snippets!

A new addition to my ever growing collection: Modern Poinsettia!  I did a little clipping,
after this was stamped - it's a big one!  Backed it with PCC quatrefoil cover die,
and topped it off with a glittery sentiment from The Stamp Market's 'tis the season.

I found this pack of Stormy Sea PTI paper and thought it was so lovely with these ink colors!
PCC Merry Christmas split sentiments, and ribbons and wreaths
a little dollop of stickles, can never hurt at Christmas time!

This next combo might be my favorite of all... there's that Modern Poinsettia in all
its glory, on a 5x7 card!

After die cutting the bouquet, I rescued the bottom half of the negative cut, added embossed stripes, and gave the whole bit a splattering of ink, before adding it to my card base.


PCC Winter Sprig was enough to fill this card with joy of the Season. The coordinating die set
includes the bare stem for layering - or to add a little sparkle to your swag!
I used Pigment's Sage, with a few CP inks for this one, and the next ...

There's that cherished PTI plaid, along with another The Stamp Market's sentiment 
and cherry kissed ink



One more!  I had to share that panel of embossed vellum!!
I used my SU tasteful textile folder, and PTI stamper's select vellum - a fine mist
 of water kept it from cracking - it did warp a little but I don't mind it!

Okay. that might have been over sharing - but since I can't send each and every one of you a Christmas card [hope you know I would hand-deliver one if I could] you at least get to see what keeps me busy 'round here!  

Happy crafting, sweet friends!   OH!  Thanks for each and every birthday wish sent my way!  My day was very special because of them!

  6. Oh, oh, OH! Michele! These are all so gorgeous! I was (in my head) gasping over them. The ink colors you bought are sooo pretty, and soft. I have not heard of this ink company before. I do have a question, do they dry well, or are they powdery if you rub your finger on the card?

  8. You really know how to make soft muted colors shine, Michele. Every card has something special about it and I would hate to pick a favorite. I'm wondering if your birthday had anything to do with the PCC spending. ;)

  18. Oh, Michelle! You spoil us with all of this goodness! I was smitten with that very first pic of your ink choices. That was the color scheme of our powder room when we moved into our brand new home in 1986. I still love those colors together and I LOVE the card you made with them. That is such a cute tag... I don't ever remember seeing that, but I have something that I could use instead...and pair it with those winterberries from the Greetery. You definitely inspire me, and I am not shy about using your wonderful ideas! And the card you like the most? Me, too! I kept staring at your use of embossed stripes and dang, girl...you are so smart!
