The Tim Holtz Distress Mini Oxide Ink Pads Kit #9 is a professional-grade 4-pack of 1"x1" ink cubes from Ranger Ink. This smart set is a botanical powerhouse, focusing on a curated palette of vibrant and deep greens. Like all Distress Oxides, these pads feature a unique fusion of water-reactive dye and pigment inks that create a distinctive oxidised effect when sprayed with water.
What’s Inside Kit #9:
This kit is essential for foliage, forest scenes, and high-contrast mixed-media backgrounds:
Twisted Citron: A bright, neon-leaning lime green.
Rustic Wilderness: A deep, rich forest green.
Evergreen Bough: A cool, muted pine green with blue undertones.
Pine Needles: A dark, classic botanical green.
Key Features:
Hybrid Ink Formula: Combines the properties of dye ink (vibrant colour) and pigment ink (opacity and chalky finish). This allows the ink to stand out on dark cardstocks while remaining blendable like a dye ink.
Oxidation Effect: When water is added, the ink reacts to create a unique "frosted" or antiqued matte finish—a hallmark of the Distress Oxide range.
Seamless Blending: Due to the pigment content, the ink sits on the surface of the paper longer, making it the industry favourite for creating perfectly smooth, line-free gradients with blending brushes.
Portable Mini Design: The 1" x 1" cubes are stackable and designed to fit perfectly into the Distress Mini Ink Storage Tin. They are a smart solution for crafters with limited space or those who travel to retreats.
Raised Felt Pad: The elevated pad allows for easy inking of any stamp size and is perfect for "direct-to-paper" techniques like inking the edges of tags or journal pages.
