Take a walk on the grungy side with the Rustique collection. Our September collection features an earthy color palette reminiscent of rich copper and verdigris paired with aged textures and vintage hardware imagery. This versatile "kit about nothing" will provide the perfect backdrop for all of your crafty endeavors.

What's Ahead?
Be bright. Be bold. Be you! October's Color Crush collection features bright splashes of color paired with bold and beautiful artwork. Infuse your paper crafts with saturated hues that will bring your memories to life. Stay tuned for the spoiler tentatively scheduled for Monday, September 28.
Fonts and Inks
The text elements in this month's collection were created by pairing the 4990810 font with several "vintage typewriter" fonts. (You can easily search your favorite font website for something similar.)
If you're looking for ink colors to coordinate with the September color palette, I recommend Earth, Ocean, Sandstone, Tangerine and Caramel CS® Hybrid ink. Classic India Black is always an excellent choice for line art imagery and text, and our White Pigment ink really "pops" on the darker papers.
