I love my da Vinci stamps, although I only looked for one plate to do this card because it’s a theme I love. I used Adirondack dye inks – Butterscotch, Terracotta, Red Pepper, Currant and Espresso, with a touch of Memories black, then overstamped some of it with a marble stamp, inked with gold Krylon pen :) Daylight has almost gone, but I tried to get a close up to show the effect – one of my favourites.
Also been playing with shadow stamps for a few days and finally finished those. I quite like the patchwork effect for a change, though may try it with deeper colours next time and a stronger main image. Far from perfect, but fun, lol.

wonderful card!
Beautiful cards I love the depth of colours on the diVinci card.
Wow, what an effective technique and combination of ink colors! I must get some of those fab colors for myself. This Leonardo piece is stunningly gorgeous. The shadow image pieces are nice too. I'm not familiar with that.
Great ancient look to your da Vinci card!!!
