Tim Holtz is one of the designers who reshaped the world of mixed media and creative crafting. Known for his distinctive vintage and distressed style, he has inspired artists and makers around the globe to experiment with inks, textures, layering, and techniques that give projects depth, character, and a sense of story. His creative philosophy is simple: creativity grows through play, experimentation, and the courage to try something new.
Through collaborations with companies such as Ranger Ink, Sizzix, and Stampers Anonymous, he has developed some of the most iconic product ranges in crafting, including the Distress inks and Distress Oxide line. His tools, inks, and surfaces are designed to work seamlessly together, giving you endless possibilities for cards, art journals, scrapbooking layouts, and expressive mixed media projects. ✨
The Tim Holtz Distress Resist Spray by Ranger is a clear spray medium that dries with a textured finish and creates areas that resist water-based media. Spray it directly for a splattered, random effect, or use it through a stencil for a more defined design. Once dry, you can work over it with Distress Ink, Distress Oxide, Spray Stains, crayons, inks or other water-based materials, while the sprayed areas remain lighter and stand out within your layers.
