Ranger - Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor Cardstock
Create watercolor cards that stay flat through wet blending and stamping
Dual surfaces handle different demands within the same project. Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor Cardstock gives you a smooth side for precise stamping and detailed colored pencil work, plus a textured side for blending inks and watercolors with visible tooth. This split personality matters when you're combining techniques, stamp your image on the smooth surface, then flip to the textured side for atmospheric backgrounds.
The 118 lb. weight resists buckling through repeated water applications, staying flat enough for layered distress ink techniques without warping into dimensional sculptures. Quick drying means you can build effects without waiting between applications, essential when you're working through multiple color layers or combining wet and dry media. Pre-cut sheets eliminate measuring and trimming, letting you move straight into experimentation.
Ranger designed this cardstock specifically for the reactive, layered approach that Distress products demand. The paper absorbs water-based media predictably while maintaining enough sizing to prevent colors from bleeding into mud. Card makers and mixed media artists appreciate having both surface options in one substrate, detailed focal points and expressive backgrounds from the same sheet.
