Distress Crayons by Tim Holtz are water-reactive pigment sticks created for layered mixed media work, texture and depth. The Metallics range adds a distinctive aged-metal look, perfect for highlights, details and patina effects without overpowering the composition.
Their creamy formulation allows controlled application and can be used dry or activated with water, integrating metallic effects naturally into layered backgrounds. They work easily with fingers, brushes, sponges or stencils and blend harmoniously with Distress Inks and Distress Oxides.
The Metallics Set is ideal for vintage, industrial and mixed media projects where metal, wear and texture take center stage.
