Diamine Shimmer Inks 2016 – Get It On!

[NickiStew]

 

Following on from last years runaway success and Christmas 2016 approaching fast, Diamine are currently releasing a new range of Shimmer Inks which Christine Joynson very kindly sent me a batch to test. Now whether or not they took on board my comments from last years test, a gorgeous magenta and orange are in both evidence. There are twelve colours in this range, six silvers and six golds and they compliment the existing range perfectly. Marc Bolan appears again as a test art created with Caramel Sparkle and Magenta Flash.

To keeps things easy and visual, what I have done to demonstrate the versatility of these Shimmer Inks is to pair a silver with a gold and create a freeform alphabet with each combination. As handwriting inks, these are a given BUT as a creative medium, these are something else entirely. They blend beautifully and in my opinion they all look stunning. The only dilemma is... which ones are the best? To view all the tests and swatch cards, please visit: https://quinkandbleach.wordpress.com/2016/10/18/diamine-shimmer-inks-2016-get-it-on/
