STAINS
hello there bloggers!  well today is a very, very exciting day for me…i'm happy to introduce the NEWEST addition to my distress product line with ranger.  distress stains!  these fluid water-based dyes are for papers and other porous surfaces and made from the same innovative distress formulation.  use for quick and easy ink coverage for backgrounds and larger areas like tags, canvas, idea-ology trimmings, and of course the new kraft resist papers.  mist with water to lighten color and create mottled effects or apply layers of stain to achieve more saturated color. the tip is a fabric covered dabber top with a built-in spring valve (like a stamp cleaner bottle). this allows for controlling the release of distress stains right from the bottle simply by pressing down onto surface.  the valve opens and stain releases, then just lift away to stop the flow, or swipe lightly across the surface to spread out the stain.  the distress stains coordinate the all of the other distress products including the embossing powders, crackle paint, stickles, and most importantly distress ink pads.  i just love this new way to distress larger areas, fabrics, grunge, trimmings, wood and more in a matter of seconds.  can you tell i'm out of control excited for these?….aghh!…t!m
