Today’s Diamine Inkvent color is Pick Me Up. This is a scented and sheening ink.

The swatch from T shows a lovely bright green sheen with a light coffee scent. The color reminds me of chocolate brown.

Here are my choices for today. Last year’s Winter Spice came to my mind as well as Pamana. I had to add Caffe Cream and Kanasas City for the underlying colors.

From my angled shot, I can see the properties of the inks better. Pamana definitely shows the similar bright green sheen.

Here’s a close up of Winter Spice. The green sheen is not as bold as Pick Me Up.

Winter Spice has been on my wish list since last year. This is a lovely reminder that I need to get a full bottle of this color. The blue shimmers and green sheen is a lovely combination.
