I've been crafting for years, but have not had a lot of brown ink pads and this set is perfect. The four colors are exactly what I need for the projects I have in mind to create. I was happy to be able to use the inks on the wood slice die cuts for the card I made below. Now I have a great set of browns! Don't discount your neturals..they are a necessity in any craft stash :) This was my first purchase of full size Altenew ink pads -- I have been using their ink cubes up until now -- and I'm quite pleased that I purchased the full size. I did find the tops of the ink pads a little snug, but I rather that than them coming off while I'm trying to store them. Also, one plus is that once off, the lids snap into the base. Also, I do enjoy the ergonomic finger indentations on the pads. Lastly, whilst most of my other ink pads are white with a black bottom, or fully white, these are all black which make them easy to distinguish from the other inks I have; and they stack very nicely!
