Tsukineko Brilliance Pigment Pearlescent Stamp Pad - Thyme - 3.5 x 5 cm

The ink contains fine, light-reflecting particles that create a subtle shimmer and sheen, giving the dried ink a luminous, pearly appearance.

While the product description does not explicitly mention fabric, pigment inks can sometimes adhere to certain fabrics. However, results may vary, and it is not specifically recommended. Always test on a scrap piece of fabric first.

Use a stamp cleaner specifically designed for pigment inks. Rinse with water and dry thoroughly. For stubborn ink, a scrub brush might be necessary, but be gentle to avoid damaging the stamp.

The 'Thyme' color is a muted, earthy green with pearlescent undertones, inspired by the herb itself.

While the ink can be spread, it is a pigment ink and does not re-wet like traditional watercolors. For watercolor effects, consider Tsukineko's other ink lines designed for that purpose.

The Dew Drop pad measures approximately 1.25 x 2 inches (32mm x 50mm).

The pearlescent effect is most noticeable on darker or mid-tone surfaces. It can add a subtle shimmer to lighter surfaces, but the contrast is less pronounced.

Re-ink the pad using the Tsukineko Brilliance Dew Drop Inker. Ensure you add ink sparingly and allow it to absorb before closing the pad.

This is normal for coated or non-porous surfaces. Allow significantly more drying time, or consider using a heat tool on a low setting (if the surface can tolerate heat) to speed up the process. Test on a scrap piece first.

Ensure you are applying enough ink. The pearlescent quality is most noticeable on darker or non-white surfaces. Try applying to a darker material or over a base layer of opaque ink.

Ensure the edges of the cap and the pad base are free of ink or debris. Push down firmly and evenly on the cap until you feel or hear it seal. For Dew Drop pads, a firm push is essential.
