Rich metallic ink pad. Delicata outshines other inkpads and provides stamping results that resemble the effects of gold or silver leafing without the mess. Great for the holidays and year-round bling.  Full size pad features substantially raised surface to accommodate even the largest stamps.  This pigment ink dries quickly on porous paper and other porous surfaces and will not loose luster or cause tarnishing.   There is no need to heat emboss.  Ink is water-based, acid-free and archival.
