Stamp Paper Ink

I am a traditional scrapbooker, but digital does have its advantages. I am also an iPhone user and the apps available cover a wide range of interests and uses. There aren't too many for scrapbooking but I'd like to mention this one: Bazzill Basics Paper. Most scrapbookers and cardmakers know the name.

For an interesting color duo, try Sunflower (light/bright orange) and Hollyhock (medium/bright pink).  Here's a card I made using this combo: For a three color combo, try Autumn Terracota (deep orange), Olive (muted medium green), and Cocoa (deep brown).  Here are two cards I made using this combo:
