NEW Tim Holtz Distress Spritzes!

Hi friends! Happy Saturday! We’re excited to introduce a FUN and NEW item in the Tim Holtz Distress Family! Welcome: Distress Spritz! To learn a bit more about them, we’d like to share this great description by our friends at Ranger Ink!
Tim Holtz Distress® Spritz is a fluid spray medium that coordinates with the Distress color palette. Each of the 12 new Distress Spritz colors are carefully formulated blends of pearlized pigments in a clear fluid base. Distress Spritz was developed to enhance and work together with other Distress products including Distress Ink, Oxide Ink, Paints, Pencils and more. Use the new Distress Spritz to create unique tone on tone effects by “spritzing” over inked or painted surfaces. A unique feature of the Spritzes is that formulation does not react with the “reactive” properties in the other Distress products. Once dry, pigments do not wipe off.














Psst! While they’re not quite shipping yet, we did want to let you know there are two additional items arriving later on to support these cool new Spritzes including Replacement Sprayers and a Distress Spritz Storage Tin! Stay tuned!

Ink Smooshing with a Tim Holtz Stencil: EZ with CZ

Hi friends! Happy Thursday! Please join me in welcoming back special guest Cathy Zielske with our latest edition of EZ with CZ! Read on, and be sure to watch the video for all the details! Enjoy!

Hey everyone! It’s Cathy Z. here and today I’m going to show you a quick and easy way to use stencils and inks for a very funky type of background (To get a similar look as I have, use the Tim Holtz Layering Dotted Stencil).

Stencil stamping is simply using your stencils to pick up some ink and pop it down onto your paper. It creates very unique looks, and it’s always different depending on the type of stencil you have. The only real requirement is to use ink colors that follow one another on the color wheel so you don’t get weird, muddy looks!
Here is my tutorial showing you how to stamp a pattern with a stencil:
WATCH THE VIDEO:
You can make several fun patterned panels this way, and then just trim to a desired size or shape and pop on a favorite greeting.
And don’t forget to add a greeting on the inside! I used my CZ Design Just a Note stamps to add the greeting in a coordinating ink color.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I’ll see you back here next month!
