Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pad in Barn Door delivers a warm, earthy red that adds weathered charm to every stamped image and creative project. This dye ink from Ranger is built for blending, layering, and aging effects that give your work an authentically worn, vintage feel. The slow-drying formula provides extra time to manipulate color on paper, cardstock, photos, decorative fibers, and other porous surfaces before it sets, making it perfect for building up detailed, multi-layered backgrounds. The standard 3x3 square pad offers a generous inking surface for stamps of all sizes, and with its acid-free, non-toxic formulation, your finished pieces stay vibrant and archival-safe. Barn Door is a bold, rustic red that coordinates across the full Distress color palette.
