Hi Sherri! I used both of the oranges linked in the "Simple Things Done With Love" supply list at the bottom of the post, for all of the orange layers on that card. The inks work in much the same way that the Papertrey ones do, although the Altenew inks do stain the stamps a bit more than Papertrey inks. Not a big deal, since it doesn't affect the stamps function at all, but just wanted to mention it. The reason I love the Altenew inks is because there are just SO many color options! Tons of colors to choose from, and for a color lover like myself, having lots of colors to layer for all of the multi-step stamping that we tend to do these days, is a real benefit to me. As for keeping the sticky mat in your MISTI, I just used a bit of tape runner adhesive (same as I use on my cards) to adhere it lightly, to the MISTI. Hope that helps!
