Ranger - Tim Holtz Distress Embossing Dabber

Tim Holtz Distress Embossing Dabber

Apply embossing ink precisely with a dabber that stays wet for creative control

Distress Embossing Ink stays workably wet longer than standard embossing inks, giving you time to position stamps, adjust stencil placement, or build custom patterns before applying powder. The extended open time matters when you're working with intricate stencils or combining multiple design elements, no racing against rapidly drying ink. The dabber top dispenses controlled amounts directly onto surfaces, useful for selective application or working on dimensional objects where traditional stamp pads won't reach.

This clear ink works specifically with Distress Embossing Glaze and standard embossing powders, heating to a smooth, raised surface that accepts inks and stains beautifully. The formula grips porous and non-porous surfaces equally well, from cardstock to metal, maintaining tackiness until you're ready to powder. Apply through stamps for crisp impressions, through stencils for bold shapes, or freehand with the dabber for organic marks and texture.

The 1 oz. bottle provides substantial coverage while the dabber applicator eliminates the mess of traditional embossing pads. Particularly effective for mixed media projects where you need embossed elements in specific locations rather than full-surface coverage. Heat-set with a standard embossing tool to create dimensional details that integrate seamlessly with Tim Holtz's distressing and aging techniques.
