Tsukineko "Gum Drops" Momento Inkpad Set

Great way to get 12 colours really quickly! These are nice warm shades across the rainbow, from a deep red through to a couple of different purples, plus you get a brown and good old Tuxedo Black in the set too. The other half of the range is also available and is called 'Sorbet Scoop'  Tsukineko 4-Piece "Sorbet Scoop" Momento Inkpad Set , which is well worth a punt too!These are dye-based inks and in the form of "dew drops" - mini ink-pads with a pointy end for inking up fine details and a round end for covering larger areas - these are much better than "cubes" or traditional ink-pad shapes to be honest. They work well on red and grey rubber and photopolymer stamps (real ones) but are not great on those awful silicone stamps that keep appearing - as long as you avoid those, these inks are fantastic quality and excellent value for money. They don't have the reactive properties of Distress but they are compatible with alcohol markers, unlike Archival inks.

Good colours easy to use

Used for crafting true to the colours

Having a good selection of dye inks is an unlikely scenario for those on a budget. These Gum drop pads change that. It is often totally unnecessary to have full size pads of colours anyway so the size of these ink pads bring down cost and are an enormous boon for those of us with limited space for our stash. I ordered 2 sets which are so easy to keep in reach, give a super range of colours which blend to create edgings and backgrounds and work well with a water brush to colour images. (dab colour onto non porous surface like acrylic block and pick up colour with brush). Great buy.

This was my second time buying this brand of ink pods. Easy to use. Good ink coverage- shape of pod perfect for use with finger and thumbprints.Great choice of colours.

Beautiful colours and a great way to test Lino carvings.

Great value for money small compact inks, great variety.

These dew drop inks are so easy to use. Brilliant for ink to stamp and getting into small spaces.
