Welcome to the Day 2 Blog Hop for the Simon Says Stamp Shine On release. Today I’m sharing a card featuring a quad of pastel inks, something I have not really worked with much. First up, my video:

Gloria Biddle says
Lovely pastel colors that you used
Rebecca Stevenson says
Beautiful pastel card. The yellow looks like it is glowing.
Sheri Kempke says
Very cool card Cathy! I’m quite interested in the pastel ink, it seems not many companies make the pastel colors! I find your “divorce” sentiments quite funny!
Sandy Suzuka says
Of all the “GLOW ON” cards I have seen so far, I love yours the best. The pastel colors work well with the light yellow splattered background. The card has a nice soft glow to it and is not hitting me with bright colors that distract from the message. Great sentiments with this sentiment set and I especially like the one you used with the GLOW ON one on your card.
Lauryne Cunningham says
This is such a cool card! I love the soft colors paired with the silver embossing!
Connie Hostak says
I love, love, love this celebration of a card! 😍
