Layering Stamping with Delicata Ink

The new colors of Delicata are simply amazing and if you want to use them for layer stamping, you will obtain shiny images with great texture. Take a look at my card: To create this I used only Delicata Ink, including four of the new colors and a butterfly layering stamp set. On this opportunity I selected Crum Cake cardstock to enhance the radiant look of the ink. I started with the lightest color, white shimmer and the solid image of the stamp, with this I had a solid and brilliant base for the butterflies. Since this is a pigment Ink, I...
