It's good to be an enabler finally lol. I really like them and I love how they stamp out. I hope they make the black soot in a larger container because it would like good on some of the more vintage looking stamps.

Thank you so much.

Thank you very much. Yes I really like them as well and the colors are really nice.

Hi and thank you so much. I really love the Archival distress pads. I usually don't jump on bandwagons or get things when they first come out but I really wanted to get something "new" and these were really nice.

Hi, thank you very much. Yes the ink pad storage has been debated many times. I think a lot of companies that have full confidence in there product will say it doesn't matter while others will say something else. Truthfully I have been using one of my Ranger ink pads for almost two years and it's just no starting to try out while I have purchased some Stampin Up destashed ink pads (the old ones) and they are still very much inky. I do store most of my pads face down, probably out of habit now.

Thank you so much.

Yes those lids will have you questioning your craft sanity and even though he intended for them to be loose we the consumer want them tight.

I don't think it would blend as well as the distress inks because it's more of a permanent but I will give it a go and let you know.

That I will have to try doing more of water coloring , thank you.

Thank you very much.
