Tim Holtz Alcohol Ink Kit

Create luminous layered effects with this alcohol ink starter kit

Transparent dye-based inks transform non-porous surfaces into fluid, unpredictable color fields. Tim Holtz Alcohol Inks flow and blend before your eyes, creating organic patterns impossible to achieve with conventional media. Fast-drying formulation lets you layer effects quickly, building depth through successive applications without waiting between sessions.

This 29-piece starter kit eliminates the guesswork of building your own setup. Three primary colors (Red Pepper, Stream, Sunshine Yellow) provide mixing foundation, while Gold Metallic Mixative adds shimmer when blended with any shade. Blending Solution lightens colors and creates ethereal effects when dropped into wet ink. The included applicator with eight felt pieces controls application, attach felt to the tool, saturate with ink, and manipulate the surface for everything from smooth gradients to textured mottling.

The kit extends beyond pure ink play. Black Soot Mini Distress Archival Ink Pad, clear stamps, and acrylic block let you layer stamped imagery over alcohol ink backgrounds. Five sheets of specialized cardstock handle these saturated inks without buckling or absorbing unevenly, giving you immediate surface to experiment on. The included guide walks through fundamental techniques, from basic blending to more complex layered compositions. Build from this foundation with additional Alcohol Ink Sets, Metallic Mixatives, or Blending Solution as your techniques evolve.
