First I stamped the Open Circles Backgrounder with Aqua Adirondack ink on CHF's Simply Smooth Cardstock. As a side note, if you use Adirondack ink, there is literally no better white cardstock for perfect ink coverage than the new Simply Smooth. The ink distributes so beautifully!
Once the blue ink was dry, I cleaned the stamp and then inked with Sunset Orange Adirondack. I got right down so my eye was level with the table. The stamps are so deeply etched that I could see where to place it in order to get the orange diamonds to stamp inside the cirles from the first impression. No stamp positioner required!

This card just jumped out at me. I love the background and it took me a minute to realize both the blue and the orange are the same shape - just stamped twice! Lovely!
