Vintage Cream cardstock was released several months ago while we were still fine tuning the additional portions of what make up a Papertrey color collection. I am proud to introduce the remainder of the items this month, including an exclusive new ink formula! The Vintage Cream Collection now includes our beautiful signature ribbons; grosgrain, satin, twill & stitched. The polka dot will be coming at a later date, done up a little differently than our traditional polka dot!

We have worked closely with our manufacturer to develop our very own exclusive Vintage Cream pigment ink. I am so excited about this announcement because this is a product I have been in search of for many years, never finding something that performed as well as I wished. Our exclusive ink has all of the characteristics that I myself wanted from a cream ink... wonderfully luxurious inking capabilities (no streaking or watery characteristics) & a pretty darn quick drying time. Our pad fufills these requirements and then some!

I created a side by side comparison here of a standard white pigment pad compared to the color of our new Vintage Cream pigment pad (you can click the image for a larger view). Admittedly, the difference in color was a bit difficult to capture on camera, but I think the contrast is still there. The softer, richer hue of the cream is just the perfect finishing detail for a project where the white might be too harsh. I hope you will give this new ink a try and fall in love like I did! It is definitley a must-have basic for any stamper!
