Tim Holtz Distress Woodgrain Paper

Layer distress techniques on embossed woodgrain for dimensional cards

Embossed woodgrain texture transforms flat cardstock into a dimensional surface that responds beautifully to layered color techniques. The raised grain pattern catches ink and paint differently than recessed areas, creating natural depth and variation as you build up Distress products. Apply Distress Ink with blending tools and watch color pool in the grain valleys while staying lighter on raised ridges. Layer Distress Paint or Stain over dried ink for weathered wood effects, or drag Distress Crayons across the surface to highlight the texture.

Heavyweight 111 lb. cover stock maintains its embossed detail through wet techniques and repeated handling. The substantial weight prevents warping when you apply multiple layers of water-based media, while the texture stays crisp rather than flattening out. Pre-cut 4¼" × 5½" sheets fit standard A2 card bases and work perfectly for mixed media backgrounds, saving you cutting time and reducing waste.

The dimensional grain reads as authentic wood texture without the weight, warping, or finishing challenges of actual wood substrates. Build vintage signage effects, create rustic card bases, or use as textured elements in journal pages and assemblage pieces where you want wood character with paper's workability.
