About TIM HOLTZ DISTRESS PAINTS

Tim Holtz Distress Paints from Ranger are designed for card makers, stampers and scrapbookers who want to add colour, texture and vintage character to their projects. Whether you're creating mixed-media layouts, altered art pieces or layered card designs, these paints help you achieve that beautifully distressed, worn aesthetic that's so popular in papercraft.

This collection includes a range of colours inspired by natural and nostalgic themes. You'll find shades like Salty Ocean, Picked Raspberry and Seedless Preserves—each one chosen to complement the Tim Holtz design philosophy. Crafters typically use Distress Paints to colour backgrounds, add depth to stamped images, create ombre effects, or paint directly onto cardstock, wood, canvas and mixed-media surfaces.

When choosing your colours, think about the mood you want to create. Softer shades work beautifully for vintage-inspired pieces, whilst richer tones add drama and focus. A helpful tip: apply these paints in thin layers and let them dry between coats for better control and more professional results. They also blend well, so don't be afraid to experiment with mixing colours directly on your project.
