The Silhouette Brown ink (Mint) is not like other craft stamping inks. Simply apply the ink to your custom made stamps from the Silhouette Mint machine and you are ready to stamp away! The ink is absorbed into the stamp and can be used over and over again, up to 50 times! Once the stamp dries out, all you need to do is add a few more drops to the stamp and you are ready to stamp some more!
