What is Distress Ink used for?

It is a water-based dye ink for stamping, ink blending, and watercolor-style techniques on paper. It layers transparently and reacts with water for faded or splattered effects.

Is Bundled Sage a good green for everyday cards?

Yes. It is a muted, grayish green that reads as a neutral, so it pairs easily with browns, creams, and other Distress colors.

Does it work with water?

Yes. Distress Ink reacts with water, so you can spritz, splatter, or lift color for a weathered look. Work on watercolor-friendly paper to avoid warping.

Not at first. The pad is pre-inked. Ranger sells separate reinkers for the line when the pad starts to dry out.

How does it differ from pigment ink?

Dye ink dries faster and stays more transparent, which suits blending and layering. Pigment ink sits on top of the paper for more opaque coverage and slower drying.
