Funky Florals

I was organizing in my craft room yesterday.  One thing that drives me nuts is that the companies that make ink pads, by and large, don't put a label identifying the ink color on the side of the pad.  So since I store mine vertically I end up having to devise some system so I know what color is where.  Yesterday I attacked my Altenew ink pads and put a small dot on the sides of them. 

While I was in my room I inked up an old favorite stamp set and played along with the challenges at Color Throwdown and CAS Colours & Sketches.



It's a pretty simple card with a wee birthday sentiment.  I should have taken the opportunity to use the colors for a masculine card, but I really wanted to use those flowers!

Here are my dotted ink pads.  I'm almost done with them, but I think we crafters should start a revolution and demand labels on the side!  It seems logical to me...

    I agree with you about the ink pads. But not only the sides, but the bottoms, too. I store my ink pads upside-down, and then they're stacked in a drawer according to color families. Yours look so nice! Speaking of nice, that card is way more than nice! You've really used those colors to their utmost. Love the simplicity of your design, and those flowers look amazing. Stay warm and enjoy the rest of the weekend. Bev

    I really love how you've combined the challenges! These flowers really pop. (Of course blue and yellow is one of my favorite color combos.) Thanks for joining us this week at CC&S!
