Tim Holtz® Distress Ink Pads
Hello Everyone, today I would like to review Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pads.
The description for this product is:
Tim Holtz Distress Inks are a collection of 49 acid-free, non-toxic,
fade resistant, water-based dye inks. They're perfect for the new
vintage, stained, aged effect crafters are creating in their altered
books, scrapbook pages, cards and paper craft projects.
Tim selected the colors and helped develop these inks to produce a
realistic, weathered look on paper, photos and decorative fibers. All
the colorful Distress Inks afford added versatility when photo tinting
and color layering with the original, award winning tones.
The 2" x 2" pads are made with a higher raised felt for easier use
with direct to paper techniques, Re-inkers available in .5 oz. amber
glass bottles with eye drop applicators.
The first time I tried these Inks I watched a video on how to use them by Tim Holtz himself.
These Inks work by laying the ink down (either on craft sheet or card stock)and then spraying with water to create the Distress look. If you use a craft sheet you run your card stock through the ink after you spritz with water. If you use card stock i found its better to spritz the card stock then run the Ink through.
The inks where simple to use and you really cant go wrong with how your project turns out. I like to mix multiple colors especially rainbow colors as it makes a nice background. I like that the colors, after spritzing with water, are bright and not dull like some other dye inks.
I have found no downside to the Distress Ink Pads, they create really cool distress backgrounds.
