October AIR #1 - Autumn Color "KALEIDACOLOR"

Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko AIR October Project is Fall Color Kaleidacolors.

If you are not familiar with this ink, you'll love it once you know it.  It has five separate pads in the case, and these pads are pushed together when in use, when you're done, pull apart the pads so that ink won't breed together.   

Ink itself is water based dye ink, so great on any paper, especially shows vibrant color on glossy paper.

With brayer, you can make beautiful background.  Here's Imagine Crafts Youtube movie how to do it for your reference. 

As titled, we are asked make something with fall color pads, and mine is Creole Spice - my favorite!
