Tim Holtz Alcohol Ink Pearls (Ranger) are alcohol-based inks infused with pearlescent pigments that create luminous, light-reflective effects within the color itself.
Smolder is a dark, smoky grey with subtle metallic undertones — like burnished steel or deep pearl stone. It’s perfect for adding depth, sophistication and dark shimmer to abstract, resin or mixed media art.
Unlike Mixatives, Pearls carry the shimmer within the ink body, producing a smooth, even, pearlescent finish without surface residue or dullness.
🧪 Pro Tip: Shake thoroughly before use to activate pigments. Apply on yupo, resin, metal or glass. Blend with Blending Solution for soft transitions or pair with Mineral for tonal ombrés.
