Tsukineko Nocturne Black VersaFine Clair Ink Pad VF-CLA-351

If you’re looking for a deep, rich black that catches every tiny detail of your stamps, Nocturne is the one. VersaFine Clair is a pigment-based ink, but it behaves a bit like a dye ink - it’s fast-drying and doesn't bead up on your stamps, giving you a perfect solid image every time.

What makes it a real favourite at Craftie Charlie is its versatility. Once dry, it’s completely waterproof, which means you can use your watercolours or water-based markers right over the top without the black lines budging or bleeding. It’s also an "archival" ink, so your memories will stay crisp and dark for years to come.

Why we love it:

• Super Fine Detail: Perfect for those intricate, thin-lined stamps.

• Waterproof: A must-have for watercolorists and mixed-media fans.

• Long-Lasting: The pad stays juicy for ages, so you get plenty of use out of it.

• Sturdy Case: The air-tight container keeps your ink fresh and is easy to open.

Charlie's Crafty Tip:

Because this ink is so pigment-rich, it stays "wet" just long enough for you to sprinkle on some clear embossing powder if you want a shiny, raised finish. However, be careful on glossy cardstock - since it's a pigment ink, it might take a little longer to dry on shiny surfaces than it does on standard card. Give it a quick blast with your heat tool if you're in a hurry!
