New Distress Shade: Scorched Timber

Tim Holtz and Ranger are excited to announce the final new Distress color: Scorched Timber! This deep, rich shade of brown, is already on it’s way to Paper Anthology and we expect it to arrive on Tuesday (1/16/24). You can email elisabeth@paperanthology to reserve yours; this gorgeous new shade will be available in all eight of the Distress products we love: Ink Pads, Re-inkers, Oxide® Pads, Oxide® Re-inkers, Embossing Glaze, Spray Stain, Oxide® Spray, Flip Top Paint; and an Enamel Collector Pin. Of course we’ll announce the arrival as soon as it gets here, so stay tuned!

In the meantime, thank you to everyone who played along in our “Guess the New Color” Giveaway, by commenting their prediction on the announcement blog post for the new shade. Congratulations to Barbara Sokollek, whose guess of, “...a neutral tone that‘s next Brushed Corduroy, either darker or lighter” was spot on! Well done, Barbara, you’re the winner of a FREE Scorched Timber Distress Oxide Ink Pad and we’ll put it aside for you as soon as our shipment arrives from Ranger!
