This is the opaque Ocean Depth colour pigment ink pad from Tsukineko"s VersaMagic range of chalk ink pads. The pad uses the compact dew drop style ink surface, which is about 4cm x 2.5cm (1 1/2" x 1") in size. The ink dries to a powder finish for a great chalk-like effect, even on dark papers and card. It is also colour fast, light fast, acid free and archival. The surface of the ink pad is raised, so you can easily ink up large stamps or add decorative edges to paper and card. The VersaMagic range of inks can be used on a wide variety of surfaces such as wood, fabric, leather, metal and more, as well as just paper and card.
