on saleMonteverde Blue Velvet Cake - Ink Sample

I purchased the Sweet Life sample pack and overall liked the majority of the collection. I purchased a bottle of Pumpkin Cake which was different from any inks I currently had and matched a pen beautifully. I never expected the blues included (this and iced cookie) to be my kind of blue but I was wrong. This is a very dark and rich blue-black you could say (don't own blue blacks). Flow is very good, dry times are decent, slight red sheen with some wetter nibs. Tested on Midori, Tomoe 68gsm, and multiple cheap papers. Well behaved on the cheapies, lovely on the finer ones. Overall a very nice ink and I'll be buying a bottle of this one too, maybe one of Iced Cookie as well.

This is such a pretty color. It is dark blue with a hint of red sheen. I have not tested dry time or water resistance. It flows well and seems like a nice easy ink to use. Most sheeting inks seem troublesome in some area, whether flow or smudging but I haven't found that true with this. I will be buying a bottle.
