I was really excited to have a new neutral to work with, but my Sahara Sand sits on my shelf because I don't know what to do with it! Any suggestions for great color combos? TIA!

I like both with Night of Navy. Garden Green looks good with Kraft, Always Artichoke looks good with Sahara Sand. I actually love them both. Get bold, get wild and just try some of your colors. ;-) You may be pleasantly suprised! :smile:
Let me know too......I am also Kraft challenged as well!
Kraft works great for rustic, masculine, outdoorsy or vintage cards. It looks fabulous with not quite navy (or night of navy) and one of the darker greens (try garden or olive). It also looks fabulous when paired with red and black. There was a kraft, real red and black colour challenge a while ago -- you could look at some of the samples there for inspiration.

Are you wondering about the ink, or about card stock?
I like to use the ink when I need a medium-light neutral colour. It's a bit darker than caramel.
As for card stock, I think it goes with almost everything. Eggplant, green, blue, red . . . colours, other neutrals. There's a great example in the gallery where a stamper even used it with black and shimmer white: Gallery at Splitcoaststampers
Why don't you search the gallery and see what strikes you?
I also like to use it for the background of the main image when I want a slightly darker look than the vanilla. Here's an example from the gallery: Gallery at Splitcoaststampers
Have fun playing with your sahara sand!

This is a swap with 200 different color combinations. Sahara Sand did some up in some of the combos. I personally didn't get it as one of mine. I am sure if they are not there they will be. I am waiting to see how all 200 look.
Guess I need to go get some out and see what I can do with it.
This may sound strange, but I did a scrapbook page with Sahara Sand and Glorious Green and it's one of my favorite pages. They look really good together. I think Sahara Sand goes with any dark or bright green, though I'm not sure about Green Galore. I love it with Handsome Hunter and Eggplant, too. I also like putting it with choco. chip or black.

I'm not surprised actually because I was using my Sahara Sand ink today and I was sponging the edges of my card, it seemed quite green. When I finished with my sponge dauber it looked really green, almost mellow moss colored. I don't have the card, so I can't comment on that.
HELP! I'm Sahara Sand challenged!
