"New" Paper, Year of Plenty-style

 

Catherine Pooler came out with new inks and papers. Gingham! Spring colors! I wanted it all! I loaded up my shopping cart...

...and then my Year of Plenty philosophy kicked in. 

Yes, Frosted and Lemon Chiffon and Creamsicle sounds lovely. But is it really so much different than the Apricot, Whipped Honey and Lilac that you already own?

And seriously, I do not need more paper!

So I pulled out my own inks, a CP background stamp (Buffalo Check), and made my own. It took just a few minutes to have a stack of pretty colors to use on future projects.

And here's a fun card I made with these "new" papers and colors.

{Today's Brew: Rise and Shine stamps and dies (CP), Buffalo Check background stamp (CP), CP inks, sequins, doily edge die (CP), coffee sentiment from Riley and Co.}

I did some fun selective inking with the help of my MISTI to give that rooster some colors.

I love this stamp set! It's one of the first I purchased when I started collecting CP products a few years ago.

Will I get the new inks? One day, when I have a little mad money to spend and there's a great sale, I probably will...because I'm a completist. But for now...

How does it feel to have plenty? It feels good...really good.
