Retro Week: Wednesday

I love the look of interference colours on black. Years ago, they brought out Opalite Inks (Tseukineko) for stamping on dark colours. I saw a demo where you created a background out of the reinkers at a Stampers Celebration several years ago in Calgary. I was sitting down working on this card and had a brain wave that I bet you could get that metallic interference look by painting with them.

So, I stamped the pear (A Stamp in the Hand) with black ink and then painted with the Opalite reinkers (I just put a few drops on a non stick craft sheet and literally painted). I quite like how it turned out.
