This is one of 2 Onyx Xpressions stamps I purchased. I do not care for the black rubber in that it is very slick, quite hard, and does not take ink well--nor can you easily see if your stamp is inked well or if you have cleaned it. I stamped with this over a dozen times and was still not completely satisfied with the impression it left. It just would not take ink as well as either clear or red rubber no matter what I did. I do LOVE the image itself though. After I stamped and colored it, I Versamarked it and covered it in Stardust EP and heated. I have another black rubber stamp from this same company and am having the same issues with it.

Did you try coating it with Goo Gone first, blotting that off, and then scrubbing it with a cleaner.
I have quite a few of their animal stamps and they really stamp well with chalk inks.
this is very nice.
This is a lovely card! I love how you colored the image. Also, lovely is the cardstock with snowflakes - it looks like it is darker on top and changes color/shade on the bottom. Is that the lighting or the actual DP? It's really beautiful.
