The Cloud 9 Interference Ink Pad Mermaid Lagoon Shimmer by Lisa Horton Crafts is an iridescent hybrid ink designed for projects that need cool colour, brightness and a clear colour shift depending on the base 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. Mermaid Lagoon Shimmer gives a bright turquoise result on light bases, with a clean blue-green feel. On dark, painted or mixed media surfaces, the interference effect reveals purple-violet reflections, creating a stronger contrast and a more magical ocean-inspired finish.
Use it with stamps, stencils, backgrounds and layering techniques when you want a bright turquoise colour that does not stay flat, but gains a second shade depending on the surface. It works beautifully in ocean projects, mermaid themes, summer cards, fantasy designs, art journals and mixed media pieces with turquoise, blue, purple, silver or dark backgrounds.
