It was so much fun creating with the New Set from the Illustrators and with the new products from Gina & Rina! ❤ First up is “Perfect Pallets” By: Melanie Muenchinger. When I used the Electro Pop Inks, I didn’t wipe off my stamp completely as I wanted the colors to blend together. I love the different colors I got when I stamped them. I inked up with the Raging Red, then the Hello Yellow, it gave me a orange color, then inked up with Hello Yellow Again and then with the Loud Lime. Followed by the Blaring Blue.

Gina K. Designs:

Stamp Set – Perfect Pallets

Electro Pop Neon Inks – Raging Red, Hello Yellow, Loud Lime, Blaring Blue, & Poppin’ Pink. I let the ink on the stamp mix with the next color I used to get a blend of colors!
