- Is this the same as a regular Distress Ink pad?
- No. Distress Oxide is a dye-and-pigment hybrid: it covers more opaquely and reacts to water with a chalky, faded look. Original Distress Ink is translucent and stains the paper.
- Can I use it on glossy or coated paper?
- It stamps, but the ink sits on top and can stay tacky and smear. It works best on matte cardstock, watercolor paper and mixed-media surfaces.
- How do I keep the pad from drying out?
- Press the lid down firmly after each use and store the pad flat. A few drops of water or reinker on the surface revives a pad that starts to feel dry.
- Does it work with stencils and blending tools?
- Yes. Apply with a foam blending tool through stencils or directly on paper, then spritz with water for texture. Clean the foam between colors.
- Is Worn Lipstick a cool or warm pink?
- It is a warm, medium pink that leans coral when layered. For a cooler pink, look at the line's Spun Sugar or Picked Raspberry instead.
