I just cracked open my new Groovy Guava Ink Pad and am slightly dissappointed. My pad looks like a burnt/rusty orange. Is this right? I was hoping for a shade more towards Cameo Coral. Any thoughts?
TIA

I stamped several images with the Groovy Guava ink pad on both whisper white and vanilla cardstock... still came out Orangish instead of the pictured color. Ugh. I SOOO wanted this color, now I'm not so sure! :(
I had that problem with Sahara Sand last year. I got the full size pad and the ink was awful, but I also bought the reinker to make my own spots and I had a better color? Do you think it is a dye lot difference or can it be the pad?
My Groovy Guava is a spot I made, so I don't have the big pad in it?

This is a great idea. How did you make a spot? What did you use for the ink pad?

My gg is also a light really rust and I checked with my SU demonstrator and she said that is the color. I found that Blush Bossom is a good color for GG paper. Its more the color I thought I was going to get with GG.
I was considering buying the Coral instead of the Guava. Is there that much difference? Especially considering it's only around for a year?
Has anyone used the Coral with Rose red? What would you suggest as a fairly close second to the Guava/Pomegranate combo? I think that's the right names. I haven't actually seen them since I moved away from my demo last September. Kind of out of the loop here.

I haven't used them together, but I did pass on the pomegranate because I read on another thread that they where awfully close- color wise.

I used the Coral on Guava cardstock and it looks fine. You're right Coral c.s. with Rose red c.s. is pretty close to the guava/pomegranate combo.
Groovy Guava?
