Full Description & Details
Bring a soft, vintage glow to your projects with the Antique Linen Distress Ink Pad from Tim Holtz and Ranger Ink. This water-based, acid-free, and non-toxic ink delivers a warm, aged parchment tone, ideal for adding a nostalgic feel to paper, fibers, and photos. The raised felt pad ensures smooth, even application for stamping, blending, and distressing techniques. Reacting with water, it creates beautiful oxidation effects for unique backgrounds. Use it with stencils, stamps, and more (sold separately). The 2" x 2" ink pad is a staple for antique-style designs, weathered textures, and timeless mixed media creations.
This is a great ink if you need a dark yellow / light brown color, and I've used it on a lot of baby pages. While it does not make the bold statement that a darker ink can, this adds a nice subtle distressed color.
I am just getting into antiquing and stamping. This is my first distress ink. It will not be my last. I watched a few of the videos Tim put out about edging paper using a sponge and a craft map. The technique is wonderful and adds another dimension to your projects. The color is subtle and not overpowering. It can be blended easily with other colors to add more depth to your project.
I've never used Distress Ink before. My preference being ink pads such as Color Box and Staz-on. I found the Distress Ink pad to be very rigid and you must use some sort of blending tool for proper application. I was attracted to them because of all the colors available. However after using this one, I'm not sure I'll purchase another.
I love all the Distress ink pads. They blend great when you add water and I love the look of them! This is perfect if you want a lighter shade of brown!
