NEW Distress Stains!

I just got some new products in and added them to the online store.
Tim Holtz Distress Stains are a new product made by Ranger that use the yummy distress ink colors Tim Holtz has developed in his distress ink pads. The cool thing about the stains in they have a dabber (dauber?) cap - sort of like playing bingo at the senior center....they are a nice 1oz. size so they won't be too heavy to take with you when you go to your journaling / art-making meet-ups with your creative pals.
I did a test stripe of each color of the Distress Stains in my journal;
the paper in my journal isn't light blue like it appears in this image...weird....maybe it's my 1989 color CRT monitor on it's last legs... :)
Here's what the bottles look like:


I also have the new packaging of the Tim Holtz / Adirondack Color Wash Sprays. I L-O-V-E these and was excited to see they added a few new colors when they repackaged them too. They give such rich vibrant colors and are fun to experiment with using wet or dry applications. I'll play around and post a sample up here soon.

For now here's a sample of something I did with the original Color Wash Sprays...I did the background with the color wash and then stamped over it with a carved stamp with turquoise acrylic paint. This was for an art-journal swap.



Enjoy!
