World Treasures is an eclectic set of 4 stamps. It features a beautiful peacock (which is famous for showy feathers and is also a symbol of fidelity). The set coordinates with the Apothecary Accents Framelits Dies (#127003) and the exotic International Bazaar Designer Series Paper (#126920).
World Treasures is available in clear-mount (#126767) and wood-mount (#126765).
I made both of these cards with the NEW firm foam pads. The ink is still dye-based and acid-free; however, the firm foam offers great coverage, especially for solid stamps!
The Firm Foam releases more ink onto your rubber stamp than the old-style felt pads. When using the Firm Foam pad, your stamp will get an even, solid covering of ink that you may not have been able to achieve with the felt pads. Please note: if you are using the ink pad frequently you may need to re-ink your Firm Foam pad more often.
I, personally, LOVE the firm foam. As you can see above, it virtually eliminates the "speckled" look you get with the felt pads on solid images . I plan to slowly replace ALL my ink pads! I love them! And Stampin' Up! is offering discount bundles when you purchase an entire color family of pads. Check out the Annual Catalog pages 153 to 156.
