Your ability to explain things in the simplest of ways is amazing. Is it possible to give some must-have stamp pads to get started without having to buy all the colours at once? Thank you.

THANK YOU, this is by far the most informative video I have ever watched on the description of the two inks and how they work. I have always been confused by them so steered clear of buying them.

I understand Tim Holtz to say, Ranger can’t make the oxide in a cube size, as the ink requires the bigger form factor to work properly. Also, a fact that has helped me, but took a while for me to recognize, all “plain” distress is in a black tin and all oxide distress is in a gray tin! TFS.
