| Hello Friends, How are you? Is your week off to a good start? I am popping in today with a quick post. I wanted to share a fun way to make a color chart of the inks and or papers that you like to use on a regular basis. In my case these are the new inks with matching papers from Simon and I want to keep them at arms length. A long time ago I made a color chart for my distress inks. You can check it out here. |
 |
| Find a favorite stamp. I'm still into chevron so I used this one. |
 |
| I wanted the coordinating card stock to show behind the stamped butterfly so I drew a quick line down the back and cut it off. Glue butterflies down on a canvas with some glossy accents. LEAVE ME A COMMENT. DO YOU LOVE matching inks & papers? I WILL GIVEAWAY THESE BasicGrey goodies. Next week I will select a random winner. |
See you on Friday for a Blog Hop with lots of chances to win!!
The winner of Simon Says Stamp December Card Kit as seen in this post is :

Beautiful colour chart. I love matching papers and inks. I have some very old Stampin Up ones. Time for some new inks and some matching papers would be nice. Will look into the simon ones. Thanks for sharing.
stunning way to keep track of your colours.
Beautiful card Kathy!! the card looks so gorgeous!!
LOVE your canvas. What a brilliant idea to show the new colour card stock and matching inks. Love what Simon has done with the line.I may have to get out some of my inks and play to make a canvas so I have something lovely in front of me. Love the matching things. Thanks. Karen
Lovely design. I love matching ink and card stock - makes creating so much easier!
Great butterflies! Of course I love to match paper and ink (and embellies too!)
Oh, yes! That is half the battle of making a card work for me. If I have matching inks/papers it is so much easier to create a card that I like.
I recently bought a lot of inks to try this technique. I find that is has an elegant and subtile effect, though so simple to make:) The new SSS release is perfect for this! TFS!
What a beautiful card!!!! I love matching inks and papers--makes it easier for me! Thanks!
Fun and creative project Kathy, I do like to match inks with paper. The design process goes easier that way too!!!
Yes, I like everything to match and color charts are also so helpful! Love your pretty butterflies!
I love your idea and I just bought the Paulina Butterfly die, so I am going to do this idea this weekend. And yes I love things to match - I find the paper pads are a great "go-to" for card making.
I do love having matching inks and card stocks. Everything comes together so nicely that way.
I love matching inks and papers - so thrilled that SSS is now doing a range of them. Love your colour chart too.
I love matching inks and papers and It's time I replace some of my old inks with new ones. These will be perfect.
YES! I still love chevrons, too. They always make me smile.
Matchy-matchy? Yep - I love that, too.
And Basic Grey? Oh yeah ... love them, too.

Love those butterflies!! Love chevron, its a classic!
The color chart is a great idea. I love the new inks and cardstocks.....What took them so long?? =)
Oh this is a fantastic idea. I love practical art. I saw the new inks and cards at SSS. They look delicious. Must try this idea. Off to check out your distress one
Love this card and your technics, as always!!! Thanks!
I love the idea of making something really useful that's also pretty enough to hang on the wall. I made a color chart but stuck it in my binder where I catalog my stamps. I really need to work on making things just to please myself in addition to dutifully making greeting cards for others.
wow loving all those butterflies..
Great card.I love matching ink and card stock..
Love the chevron and the butterflies. I don't match ink and paper but this card makes me realize how great it looks!

FIRST, CONGRATS to Lori for her win!!! :) AND YES! I DO LOVE matching papers & inks! It makes for a MUCH NICER CREATION!!!!!!!!:) LOOOOOOOVE your butterflies!!!!!!!:)
I think having ink and paper match is good helps in making a great project. Thank you
the butterflies look super with their matching cardstock - I'd definitely need to have colour charts of these whilst working. How I wish Simon Says Stamp might have an outlet in the UK. I love working with monochrome colour schemes so my answer to your question is a resounding YES.

Oh how I love matching inks and papers! Tone on tone is such a great technique for subtle backgrounds and having matching inks makes designing projects so much easier!
What a fun idea. These colors look so fabulous.
Hi Kathy, I love how you matched the ink and paper, very, very pretty. I don't have enough paper or ink to be able to match them....lol tfs Love ya' Patricia

WOW!! What a spectacular card and a wonderful design! I do like to mix and match my inks and papers all the time.
I love the butterflies and yes, yes yes I love matching inks and papers!!
I've never thought about matching paper & inks so I guess I'm not necessarily a fan of them! But I like what you did with them!
Beautiful color display and chart! Love how you showed how to modify the butterfly and how you turned it into an art piece. Wonderful! Thanks for sharing.
