The Cloud 9 Matt Blending Ink Pad - Anthracite by Lisa Horton Crafts is a matte blending ink with rich pigment and clean colour payoff. The Anthracite shade is a deep charcoal grey that works beautifully in modern, minimal, industrial, vintage and mixed media projects.

Its water-reactive formula makes it ideal for colour mixing, blending, layering, stencils, stamping and water-based techniques. You can use it to create smooth backgrounds, colour gradients, stencil patterns and matte details on cards, scrapbook layouts, art journals and mixed media surfaces.

🧭 Which Ink Do I Need?

Each ink pad is designed with specific uses in mind.
Some work best on paper, others on fabric, and others on non-porous surfaces — and this directly affects the result you’ll get.

To help you choose without trial and error, we’ve organized our inks based on how they actually behave in use, not just by brand name.
This way, you can more easily see which ink suits the technique and surface you’re working with.

🖋️ Pigment / Oil-Based Inks

When you want clean, controlled stamping with strong detail. These inks mostly sit on the surface and work beautifully with embossing.

Choose from:

🎨 Dye / Water-Based Inks

When you’re working with color, blending, layering, and backgrounds. These inks absorb into the paper and are designed for effects and movement.

Choose from:

🧪 Hybrid Inks

When you want strong surface color, water-reactive behavior, and a more chalky finish that works especially well in layers.

Choose from:

🧱 Permanent / Archival / Solvent Inks

When you need a permanent impression or you’re working on surfaces where standard ink pads won’t perform well.

Choose from:

Solvent-based StazOn inks are also suitable for non-porous surfaces, such as plastic, metal, glass, and ceramic.

🧵 Textile / Porous Surface Inks

When you’re working on fabric or porous materials and need the color to properly bond with the surface.

Choose from:

🖨️ Press / Letterpress Inks

When working with press or letterpress techniques, where ink is transferred through pressure rather than absorption.
