Trying out some of the new in colors. I've had them for weeks, but personally was so disappointed in them, that I wasn't motivated to do anything with them. I made myself today. I thought this was horrid. It looks better here on the computer than in real life. That crushed curry in real looks like squashed mustard packets. I'm just so disappointed that some of the colors they have discontinued are replaced with these uglies!! JMO- so please don't throw the mustard at me---I mean the crushed curry!!

Liz, I do like this very much. At least on line these look very rich and do compliment each other. I am just starting to work with the colors myself, but really this is beautiful- IMHO :-).

I really like it. I wasn't planning to purchase the inkpads but when I see what you have done I may have to reconsider.

I really like the curry and razzleberry together on this card. It looks a bit like Bravo Burgundy online here. That seems like it would go together too. I'm not a big fan of the melon or mustard but the new orange is nice with soft suede and crushed curry. I too love past colors more than this year. But I do know they grow on you!

Well, they look nice together in the photo, but I know that you said they are worse IRL. I'll have to try them together to see what you mean. I love your layout on this card!

Liz I am not too impressed either. I am just not a mustard fan. LOL. This turned out great. I really like these two together. I will miss Baja Breeze. My favorite sky color.

Your card looks rich and beautiful here, Liz.
I was a bit surprised with the intensity of the colors SU came out with. I haven't seen them in person yet to judge. How do you like the razzleberry and melon IRL?

I like this card a lot! I am not a big fan of the new in-colors yet...but I hated kiwi kiss when it first came out too! The razzleberry is my fave of the new set...I like it with this curry base! Nice job

I know, I too am having trouble with the new colours this year!! Especially - for me - Razzleberry -wasn't eggplant ugly enough? Hmm to be honest - the colours look quite rich together on your card!! My SU demo did tell though that SU! is asking all Demo's to return the new blue colour as there is a problem in the formulation such the blue in colour what one is that? - well - the colour will destablize over time and so they need to be returned.??? This is what my demo tells me.
