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!

Nice shades of brown. I'm looking forward to using them.

Great coverage

nice inks to work with.

As always Altenew ink pads offer the best in color groups and this set is no exception. Great colors and easy to mix with other colors.
