SSS Rainbow Splash Inks

Like most of you, my appetite for inks is greater than my budget for inks.  I've been eyeing the Rainbow Splash inks since Simon released them last year, and I was finally able to pick them up this month.

There are 13 inks in the set.  I was looking for a quick and easy way to try out most of them, so I pulled out my Dimensional Rectangles stencils.  

There are four stencils in this set, and for each of these cards I used two colors for each layer.  One color was inked from the top left corder of my stencil diagonally across to the center area, and the other color (the darker one) was inked from the bottom right diagonally across to the center.

For the card on the left, I used the following color combinations:  Princess and Crimson, Pumpkin and Dandelion, Lime and Grass, and Lake and Heather.

This one came out a lot more colorful than I anticipated, but I love how bold it is.  To soften it a bit, I added some dark splatter and used a black card base.

The Chin Up die is one of my favorite new ones, and I die cut the sentiment itself from white cardstock and the shadow from black.  After adhering them together, they were popped up over my background with foam tape.

For the next card, I narrowed down the color families a little bit going with a lighter and darker shade of each color family.  I used Ballet and Princess, Canary and Dandelion, Lime and Grass, and Lake and Sea.

This time I used the pattern horizontally, added a black mat, and the Hugs and Kisses sentiment which was also popped up with foam tape.

This was a really fun way to take these new inks out for a spin.  There were two that I didn't get to use yet, Scarlet and Emerald, but I am sure they will be soon!
