It's someone who buys stamps they didn't normally like at first,only to see it in Split Coast Stampers gallery in a different perspective.
I have them, but must admit I don't use them very often. I have the blue, green and rust colors. They only work on dark card, and they are hard to explain unless you see them. They are clear infusion pads and here is an example using opalite, but it doesn't really show the lustre of them.
The green and the rust work really well with Lovely as a Tree for the row of trees, but I don't get them out very often, maybe I should have a play and post something. I will try later on today.
Sorry I haven't been more help.:(
ally those are really cool.I love the colors.I will have to try out a few.

I own them becase I thought they'd give the same look as pearl-ex without the mess. They work well on DARK cardstock, and the method in the link earlier looks like fun, but they disappear on lighter papers. So cool, but definitely not a must-have, KWIM?
As with others I have them and i don't use them as often as I should. I actually like to use the reinkers and a squeegee to create background paper. Fun technique.
I bought 4 colors of the reinkers (cheaper than the pads). Like Fran, I saw these demoed with the squegee and like that effect (you squeeze out a small puddle in a dot or line along the edge of paper, and use the squeegee to spread and wiggle the ink across the paper - use multiple colors at once, too. I also put just a bit on a sponge dauber if I want to ink up a stamp. Very pretty on dark papers. It has a pearly, shimmering look that really doesn't show well on a scan. I suggest you buy one reinker if you want to try them out.
