Hi folks! Aren't these new ink pads gorgeous!?
Hero Arts' 2012 catalog has been released and it is absolutely filled to the brim with goodness! New stamps, inks, accessories, gift packs, and wafer thin dies are among the newest products being offered by Hero Arts for 2012.
Jennifer Mcguire is here to tell us all about the new Mid-Tone Ink pads.
The ink pads are water based and acid free archival. But my favorite thing about these inks are their smooth and even coverage for stamping. Seriously, watch the video to actually see the inks fill in on paper to even and smooth out coverage! The color family works beautifully with the existing Hero Arts color line. It's an especially wonderful thing for card makers like me! With over 20 years of experience in the stamping and card making industry, Shari Carroll knew exactly what she was doing when she developed these brand new ink pads - Thank you Shari!
Be sure to pop over and see Jennifer as she has a whole set of the new Mid-tone ink pads to give away on her blog HERE !
BLOG CANDY ALERT! If you want to win the brand new Hero Arts stamp set pictured above and not available for sale in any stores, join our following, comment here and let us know your favorite of the new mid-tone ink pad colors.
I hope you have some time to stamp today! :)
