The Cloud 9 Interference Ink Pad Night Sky by Lisa Horton Crafts is an iridescent hybrid ink designed for projects that need a dark base colour, depth and a warm shifting shimmer that becomes more visible depending on the surface underneath. Its formula combines dye ink, which helps the colour apply smoothly, with pigment ink, which gives the colour more presence on the surface and helps the shimmer interference effect show more clearly.
What makes the Cloud 9 Interference Ink Pads special is that the same ink does not appear the same on every surface. Night Sky gives a deep charcoal, almost black result on light bases, with a more subtle shimmer. On dark, painted or mixed media surfaces, the interference effect reveals gold-bronze reflections, creating a more atmospheric finish with strong contrast.
Use it with stamps, stencils, backgrounds and layering techniques when you want a dark colour that does not stay flat, but gains a warm iridescent shift depending on the base. It works beautifully in celestial projects, vintage cards, masculine designs, steampunk, grunge, Halloween, art journals and mixed media pieces with black, brown, gold, bronze or dark backgrounds.
