I had purchased VersaMark Dazzle Inkpad, Antique Sparkle before and wanted a backup.  I love using this to give my homemade greeting cards a soft antique look.  The sparkle is just enough and the champagne color is wonderful.  I also have the frost and the embossing pads.  I have had these pads for several (over 4) years and they are still moist.  I keep a rubber band around all of my pads and that seems to help keep them from drying out.  I love Tsukineko products.  I have yet to be dissatisfied.
