Our take on the Ranger Distress Ink Broken China 0.5 Oz Pack 3

Ranger Distress Ink in Broken China is a water-based dye ink pad in a soft, dusty blue, sold here as a three-pack. Distress Ink is known for staying wet long enough to blend, stamp and ink-blend on paper, and for fading softly when spritzed with water. The 0.5 oz pads fit standard stamping and cardmaking, and the color sits between a pale sky blue and a muted teal, so it layers well with browns and creams. It is a staple for card makers and scrapbookers who want a vintage, worn look rather than a crisp, opaque finish.

Questions and answers

Is Broken China a true blue?
It is a soft, dusty blue with a slight teal lean, not a bright primary blue. It reads as a muted sky or faded denim.
Can I use it for watercolor techniques?
Yes. The water-based ink reactivates with water, so you can blend, spritz and lift it for faded, watercolor-style effects.
Is the ink waterproof when dry?
No. Distress Ink is a water-based dye ink and remains water-reactive, so it is not suited to projects that must survive moisture.
How does it compare with other Distress blues?
It is lighter and softer than Salty Ocean and more muted than Blueprint Sketch, which makes it better for skies and subtle backgrounds.
What is in the pack?
Three 0.5 oz Broken China ink pads. No blending tools or stamps are included.
Where is the Ranger Distress Ink Broken China 0.5 Oz Pack 3 cheapest?
At Staples, for $27.49, as of our latest check.
