Ranger Ink Tim Holtz Distress Embossing Powder – Last units left

Ranger Ink Distress Embossing Powder, designed by Tim Holtz, creates a unique matte, textured, and aged look, rather than a smooth, shiny finish. These powders contain special "release crystals" that do not fully melt, resulting in a worn, vintage appearance on paper crafts and mixed-media projects. 

Key Features & Usage:

• Matte/Textured Finish: Unlike traditional glossy powders, these produce a pitted, weathered texture.
• Release Crystals: The unmelted crystals create the "distressed" effect.
• Coordination: Colors are designed to match the Ranger Distress palette, including colors like Walnut Stain, Fired Brick, and Weathered Wood.
• Application: Best used with Ranger Distress Embossing Ink to achieve the best results.
• Application Method: Sprinkle onto stamped images, tap off excess, and melt with a heat tool.
• Handling: Once heated, allow the powder to cool completely for the best adhesion. 

Differences from Regular Embossing Powder:

• Distress Powders: Matte, textured, and opaque, designed to look aged.
• Distress Embossing Glazes: Translucent (not opaque) powders that add a tint of color, often used to layer over other inks without hiding them.
• Regular Powders: Generally, traditional powders are smooth and glossy. 

Tips:

• Do not put the rubbed-off crystals back into the jar to maintain the proper powder-to-crystal ratio.
• Use a heat tool to melt the powder fully, but you cannot "overheat" these powders like traditional ones, as they are designed to look rustic.
• Ranger offers a full range of colors, including metallics and specialized formulas.
