Well, I must have been sleeping when I made these cards because, there are 5, not 4, new colors in the Subtles Collection. Which one did I leave out? Why, Highland Heather! I’m guess I’m just not a purple person because I never even realized it was missing from my own palette. However, Highland Heather is a pretty dreamy purple. Like the rest of the Subtles Collection, it’s soft, delicate, slightly muted, and much more subdued than the Brights or even Regals. That’s not to say, though, that they can’t stand alone! There’s nothing wimpy about these colors!
The entire Subtles Collection of ink pads can be yours for FREE when youjoin my Stamping Bee team in July! That’s a $67 value, not to mention Free Shipping, too! The offer starts July 1, so get your Wish List started now!
