This ink pad is a great addition to anyone's Arts and Crafts collection .Based on our own experience, we love the distressed look it gives to our projects. The ink dries quickly, making it easy to layer, and the colors are beautiful and vibrant. However, we did NOTICE that the ink tended to bleed on some delicate papers so we had to be careful when using it. Overall, we highly recommend this ink pad for all your stamping needs..See full review
