Not quite as awesome as the golden glitz, but close.
As you can see in the close-up, there's a nice shimmer to the Delicata, but it's not quite as impressive as the bright golden glitz. It registers silver-gray at a distance, and the shimmer isn't as obvious. Still, it shows up well and looks lovely!
It dries as quickly as the gold, too.
Definitely recommended!
Now, I've typed this post and just noticed I'd completely forgotten to draw silver lines to "hang" the ornaments, which means they are magically floating in space. It's Christmas magic, folks!
Are you buying that?
Reader Beth S. requested my opinion on the silver ink, so I'll just leave this post as is. It's been a long day, I'm tired, and I don't trust myself to draw those lines tonight.
*sigh*
Premature picture-taking.
How embarrassing.

Beautiful card! I'm with you - the silver ink is nice, but not as wonderful as the gold. Still my go-to silver ink.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how many times I have taken a picture, gotten the file ready to post and THEN noticed something was wrong. So glad I'm not the only one ;)
I entirely agree that it's fab but not quite as fab as the TOTALLY awesome gold! Love your make this morning and the magical "hanging" ornaments .... adding strings might just spoil the CAS effect .. IMHO

The silver looks nice. It will be nice to see how the card looks with the lines.
ReplyDeleteYou won't catch me dissing your magical floating Christmas ornaments. I think they are quite fabulous. I added the gold ink to my Amazon wish list and noticed they have a copper ink as well.
ReplyDeleteI kind of dig the whole floating thing. Don't sweat it.
ReplyDeleteI do that all the time - take a pic and only notice something's wrong when I see it online on my blog. I get that you wanted your baubles to dangle but I quite like them floating like that.
ReplyDeleteLove that you're keeping it real :-) I too, kinda like them floating... really, it doesn't look as odd as you would think when you say it out loud.
ReplyDeleteSusan, you need to see the Delicata Copper ink. Yummy
ReplyDelete(you made me buy the gold, I want to make you buy the copper:))
I think it's amazing how the eye "fills in" what should be there.
ReplyDeleteI am positive I "saw" the hanging wires until you pointed out they weren't there!!!
Very nice card!
Marty
if you attach clear string, like floss, you can have them hang from something while maintaining some of the floating magic
ReplyDeleteMy eye filled in the lines, too. Love the shapes and colors.
