I bought two of these distress inks, this one and another in Tea Dye. Tea Dye is wonderful, but this one came pretty much completely dried out. After doing the edges of a mere 15 or so pages, the ink pad is no longer putting out much, if any, color. If I need to buy a new package for every 15 pages (just the edges, mind you!) this project is going to cost me a fortune, as I'm trying to distress a 600 page book!!
