Opalite Ink, new to the Kitchen Sink.

Ok…you may know by now that, I AM an ink-addict!

Yup…can never have enough colors or kinds of ink!

Well, I have had my eye on Opalite Pigment Ink from Tsukineko.

Tsukineko calls this ink, “The Reflective Interference Ink”.

ok????? …. sooooo?????

What does that look like? (that’s what I asked!) Well,I had to see for myself.

This unique ink takes on the color of the paper, with a tint of color, getting more vibrant with the darker the paper.

Here are a few samples that I tested out to share with you.

Because of the shimmery, sparkly look this ink…it is not the easiest to photograph. But, I hope you can see that it does become more vibrant as the paper gets darker, yet you can see the stripes showing through.

My opinion… this ink is similar to a watermark ink only with the added metallic/sparkly tint of color! As if you are stamping with “Opals”.

Here is a Valentine’s Day card I did using Opalite ink.

Nordic Ice was stamped on Not Quite Navy paper and Cypress Frost was stamped on Old Olive paper.

I look forward to seeing what else I can do with this ink!!!
