The Chalk Pads are wonderful. Here are some of their best selling points:
*they are a combination of our Classic Ink and Craft Ink so they are archival quality with faster dryin time.
* they have a very muted, rich, chalky look to the ink when it is dried. This is a look you can't get with any other product.
* they ink is permanent if heat set so it is grea tfor scrapbooking and for projects such as dominos, and game pieces.
* they can be used as a large spectrum pad, or each individual colour can be removed and used individually.
* because of the shape of the individual pads they are great for "direct to paper" techniques.
* they are very easy to use to ink up large bold stamps because of the small handly under the pad, and because of the "texture" of the ink.
* for the price you get a great selection of colours from 2 different colour families, plus there are refills available for when they start to dry out.
Hope that helps.
