Review on Twig Gathering Mini Ink Pad for Rangers by Shantel Griffin

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Lovely ink pad for embossed paper

I typically make and sell 150-200 greeting cards a year and I like to emboss the background and then color in the background to make the raised design stand out. I tried all kinds of ink pads until I finally found this Jim Holtz Vintage Distress Ink Pad. It's advertised as producing a "distressed look on paper, fiber, photos and more" which wasn't exactly what I was looking for. But it also works really well for coloring in a raised pattern after I've run my card stock through my Cuttlebug with an embossing folder. Please see the customer image to see a condolence card I have embossed into an autumn themed folder. and then colorized with a vintage photo by Distress Ink. The only downside to using this distress ink pad is that it takes a few minutes to dry. The color of a vintage photo will appear dark brown on almost any color of cardstock.

Pros
  • Scrapbooking and stamping
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
