3.0 out of 5 stars Mixed Review October 1, 2010

By BOOK REVIEW VINE™ VOICE

Color Name:Peeled Paint

Don't plan on using this ink pad with rubber stamps unless you want a fairly translucent effect. If you are layering images to create a collage, this can be a good ink to use. Don't get fooled by the clever marketing names, Mustard Seed is plain old yellow, marmalade is just plain old orange, work lipstick is a cherry red.....the colors are not unique. I think the stamping foam that is recommended as an applicator for this product is really awful. If you want to try the foam, you can just as easily use the foam wedges they sell in the drug store to apply foundation make up with.

5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST for Distressing/Aging! Just add WATER!: ) June 29, 2011

By Carrie

Color Name:Walnut Stain

No...this ink isn't great for stamping, but when it comes to distressing: WOWOWOWOW. I have used it directly on paper as well as using a cloth to "apply"/rub it on things such as chipboard, etc. Once I've applied the ink, I spray a bit of water on the inked parts and VOILA....the ink will make the paper age MORE-SO by "seeping" a bit. Haven't used the other colors, but I am anxious to work with those, too!

I wouldn't pay the 6.84 on Amazon, though, when locally, it is MUCH cheaper.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, High-Quality Product! September 11, 2009

By Marion VINE™ VOICE

Color Name:Clear For Embossing|Amazon Verified Purchase

In July I bought a Uchida 2500 Embossing Heat Tool and, being new to embossing, didn't know which brand of embossing ink was best to use. I got an inexpensive ink pad at a local craft store and it didn't last very long, less that two weeks of moderate use, and the thin little pad dried up. So I came back here and purchased the Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pad and have been using it for over a month now and it's still loaded with ink. The ink pad is thicker than the cheap one I got and produces a much better result when rubber stamping.

If you're looking for a good value and a high quality product, then this is the ink pad to use. I plan to try some of the colored pads next. Happy Art-Making!!
