Raised felt pads deliver controlled ink application whether you're working entire surfaces or targeting specific zones. These compact 1-inch square pads contain the same water-reactive dye formulation as full-size Distress inks, maintaining complete compatibility across the 60-color palette while fitting easily into travel kits and small work spaces.

Water-based dyes blend and layer smoothly, creating depth through successive applications or atmospheric effects when misted. The raised pad design allows direct-to-surface application for quick coverage or edge work, while the compact format excels at reaching tight corners and small details that larger pads can't access efficiently. Stackable construction keeps colors organized and visible, eliminating the frustration of digging through drawer clutter when you need a specific shade quickly.

Fade-resistant pigments maintain color integrity across projects, and each pad accepts matching Distress Re-inker for extended use. Buy individually to supplement existing colors or choose coordinating sets that solve specific palette needs, seasonal tones, neutrals, or vibrant accent colors. The mini format proves particularly valuable for artists building comprehensive color collections without committing significant storage space or budget to shades used occasionally.
