New Distress Ink- Saltwater Taffy

[lylacfey]

I didn’t see a thread talking about it. Thoughts on it? Who has bought it?

I bought the reinkers for the DI & Oxide, I am thrilled it is one of the colors I kept hinting for. The DI is a pretty soft coral color. The Oxide is more lighter version of Pepto Bismol. I know that is a terrible comparison. It is the best my perimeno brain could come up with, lol. I do really love the new Pepto version, lol. I can see me using it a lot.

I am glad that it is not another blue. I thought Tim was losing his mind releasing so many blues, ROFL.

I love he went from Villianious Potion that was such a rich deep jewel like gem color to a pastel soft color Saltwater Taffy.

I love the Saltwater Taffy color! It's not too orange and not too pink. Really pretty with Abandoned Coral. I haven't bought it yet, but definitely will be.

I bought both the DI and the Oxide, and I love the color! It's just what I expected it to be: a creamy, soft peach.

I ordered the whole shebang!

So if you already have Saltwater Taffy ink, how does it compare to Kitsch Flamingo? I do adore the KF.

It's more orange than Kitsch Flamingo.

I haven't bought it yet, but when I do I'll get the ink version. I hope he releases a set of the newest colors in the mini distress archival pads.

I adore Kitsch Flamingo too. It is more orange than KF. I do think it does look more realistic to a real flamingo feather. Scrapbook.com has good comparison pictures-

BohoDiva- I know Saltwater Taffy will be released in archival. I just saw the mini's in archival for Kitsch Flamingo the other day.

Still looking for a warm, buttery yellow, a rich burgundy and violet. I like the Saltwater Taffy, it's pretty.

Tim said he won’t do any yellows ever. He seemed adamant about it. It was something about chemistry and Pantone charts and other reasons that confused me, lol. I would like more yellows too.

I want more jewel tones and pastels. I was thrilled with the last two releases.

Tim said the same about Aged Mahogany being the wine/burgundy color. He's not doing another of those colors either.

[Scrapjanny]

He also said there would never be a peach, and Saltwater Taffy is most definitely a peach. There are yellows already, so I don't understand that either.

Well sigh,

No butter yellow or a true burgundy :(

Can I a least hope for a violet? :lolo:

Thanks for the info

I watched this video on coloring seam binding with DO ink. You may get the butter yellow by mixing it yourself.

I've held off on getting it as I have a similar color in pigment ink. Pretty color though!
