I Love Cool Caribbean!!
I am so glad to finally have this color. I've been wishing for an aqua for years, and now I finally have it.

me either, but it's kind of a correct gnome coloring and I already had the fine lace stamped on the ruby red so I just reached for it and used it.

I didn't think I would like it - b/c I'm not fond of that shade of blue - but man it really adds a softness to cards. I have loved everything I have made with that color.

Oooo, that sounds interesting! I bet it looks great. I never think to use Not Quite Navy, didn't use to think I liked it. But Emily uses it a lot in her color challenges and I've discovered that I really like it with certain colors. Thanks for the tip!!

I saw a card in the gallery using Cool Caribbean with Cameo Coral and thought it was such a great combo, I had to try it too. Here's my CC & CC card --

I have been loving Cool Caribbean with every color but my most recent favorite is Cool Caribbean and Old Olive but I love Old Olive with almost any color, too! Cant wait to try some of all of your color combos!

Cool Caribbean is my favorite! I've always loved light aqua (it was one of our wedding colors!) so when SU! came out with this I was turning handsprings.

I love this color so much because it works so well with the retro look. I just uploaded a Pattern of Friendship card using it with Teal and dark brown that I made a couple of days ago. I love how it works with so many colors. If they really do discontinue it I will have to buy about a dozen packages!

You all are killing me, your cards are so gorgeous. I swore I wasn't going to buy any of the in colors. Why have stamp pads and inks that I can't match to paper after this year. I love CC so much though. Do you really think SU! will kiss it goodbye forever? What are you guys going to do paper wise near the end of the year, buy 20 packs to last forever? Seriously, is it just me who is scared to buy the in color stuff or do you see yourself using the cc ink with other papers and not worry if you run out of the cc paper?
