[1.9.2014] wanna sketch reminder
I’m baaaaaaack… with another sample for the current Wanna Sketch. I was playing around with some inks lately and thought the randomness of the dots in the sketch would be perfect. So let’s take a look at at the sketch again.
I’ve been dying to try out the Memento Luxe inks. I had the opportunity to play with a friend’s supply and what better way than with a bunch of falling hearts? I kept randomly stamping hearts in the different colors to see what I liked or disliked. In the end, I do like Memento Luxe MUCH better than plain Memento. The Luxe inks are pigment inks and are vibrant and stamp fabulously. The plain Memento are dye inks, and while I do like them for certain applications, the coverage isn’t ask consistent and often looks mottled. If I had to choose, I’d pick the luxe over the regular memento. The only drawback… long drying time and because they are so juicy, they can be a bit slippery with clear stamps.
So back to the card, what do you link of the falling hearts? Aren’t they cute? Gotta love Paper Smooches stamps. I also just adore the new stitched tag die. A total fave for sure.
Are you ready to take this sketch on??? The linky will stay open until Friday, January 14, 2014 {11:55pm PT}.
Can’t wait to see what you come up with!

So sweet! You used all of my faves – PS, hearts and Momento Luxe ink! I’m with you on that – love the luxe, not so much on the regular (unless it’s black) – for the same reasons.

Loving those Luxes and i do like the plain Mementos too, I seem to struggle more with the HA for ‘splotchiness’ but I’m persevering lol. Another great card Lisa!
