 The first time I made this type of DIY ink pad was in October  2018, you can see the Instagram 

tutorial here:  Vicki Evans (@dig_tcc) • Instagram photos and videos

  

I marked the archival ink corner with Mixative ( it will stick to the plastic)


  

  

  
lots and lots of water, then let air dry, this took patience

  

I also added an arrow to the back, showing which corner has archival ink

    At first I was confused as to the big arrow in the ink pad. But once I saw the effect, it was an ah-ha moment. I get it, I think, anyway. Makes for some creepy, wicked, into the darness effect...Love them...

  4. Phew! I think I got it! And, yes, genius! The idea is the archival ink, being in the one corner of the ink pad reaches in toward the center of the stamp (the focal image) as one inks around the stamp and then that portion of the image (being archival ink) will not bleed out when wet! Love it and thanks so much! I just loved your cards and have these awesome stamps!
