Have you ever tried Opalite?
I bought some ink pads. Opalite pigmented ink and have no idea how to use them. I can see the ink on the rubber but not very well on the paper. It states on the pad the reflective interference ink. I have no idea what that means. I have tried it on white, light and dark colored paper and can hardly see it. I bought several differant colors and need help!

Try black--it is great on black or dark colors.

It almost looks like a versamark hardly any color. Do you have any cards you have used it on for me to see?

You can barely see it in the picture. Look in the lower right corner. The purple shiny irridescent (sp-sorry) stamp

It reminds me of the Fresco Chalk inks I have...Looks the best on very dark cardstocks...

I've used Opalite to great effect on dark cardstock ~ I love it!
Here are two examples:
A Mediterranean Note
and
Iris Bloom Debut
Hope that helps! I tried to take the photos so the Opalite would show up 
I think I got the first one from Kitchen Sink Stamps, and after that I think Hobby Lobby. I saw some at Joann's the other day. |

Beautiful cards. Your ladies have inspired me! I have glacier blue, cypress frost, artic emerald, crystal blush, golden mist and nordic ice. I can't wait to try the sponging with them and stamping some backgrounds to create dp paper. No time to stamp this weekend but as soon as I can I will try what you have all shared. TFS

There are a ton of fun uses for opalite. Technique Junkies has had some fun ideas but you have to be a member to check those out.
Try this link for some fun ideas with samples.
