This hop has been an eye-opener to the possibilities of the Distress Stains. The team did such a wonderful job of showing the product. I don't have any, but now will be giving them a try!! I'm off to the Tim H. video.
Tim's video was very helpful in learning more about the Distress Stains. I love that you can cover a large area quickly and also build the color in intensity. I know I am going to want all the colors!

I havn't used the distress stains yet but would love to use them for tags and card backgrounds. I love the distress inks and think these would be a great addition to my supplies.

Would love to win some more colors to broaden the color range.

Thanks for the link to Tim's video. The projects from the team were fabulous.
Another great informational hop. Loved the designs and all the tips everyone shared.
I have a few of the Distress Stains, but haven't tried using them yet. I think it will be this afternoons project. Glad to see how simple they are to use. That's why I love to visit your hops. I learn a LOT.
Thanks for the video site also. Have a wonderful weekend
Thanks for the video. Makes me want to go try a few projects, myself. I loved all the design teams projects. It looks like I need to incorporate the Distress Stains into my craft projects. I love their strong brilliant color on various mediums. Thanks for another educational blog hop.
Thanx for the chance to win once again and for the links! Your DT is made up of some extremely talented ladies and I just love these hops to see what else they can come up with.

Daisy, thanks for the blog hop. THe team really came through with some GREAT projects and tips!! Thanks for posting the Tim Holtz video too, will watch at later date. I sure hope I win some distress stains, they are super!!!
I haven't tried this but I am now interested. Thanks for the link to Tim to find out more. I think as I look at these the thing I like is the dauber top already there. No need to figure out the best way to apply them
Looks like I need to get some of these. I have the distress inks but have not tried the stains. Thanks for the TH video. That was a wonderful hop!! Thanks for the inspiration.
The more I see the more I like. I have yet to purchase the Distress Stains, but now they are at the top of my list. The team projects just confirmed it for me that the stains are a must have.
I love the Distress Stains and have used them to paint a stamped image as well as create cool backgrounds and I altered a clip board with them (needed to seal it). Here is a link to one of the things I've done with the Stains:

I definitely want the other colors too. Thanks for the chance to get some with the give-away.
I love all the different ways to use Distress Stain and glad we now have more colors.
Great bloghop as always! I love using the new stains especially for how quickly they cover the sufface and for dying my ribbons to match my projects.
Great projects on the hop! Can't wait to get some of these Distress Stains to try out myself! Gorgeous colors....

Love your "color" hops! So informative.

I have never used stains so am looking forward to trying these out! They are beautiful on paper! Each blog has more and more information!
Greetings,
First, your store and the blog are always filled with great products and many idea's, I am inspired everytime I visit or shop. The Distress Stains are fabulous! I just have Spun Sugar and Vintage Photo as these were the only 2 available in the Monterey Bay area! I have used the stains on many projects. Naturally, it works great on tag ART. I used it to color some white seam binding a had, and now a have THREE colors of bindings which took the ink very well. It worked magic very quickly on my ATC's, and lastly I colored cream faux flower petals to a beautiful pale pink with the Spun Sugar. I WISH our area had more! I can hardly wait for you to announce the winner!
I have one bottle of distress stain and I find it so handy to use. It's easy to add to paper to spread colour where you want it. Definitely will be buying more colours to add to my supply, especially with all the amazing new colours.
Thanks for sharing! :)
I loved the video! There seems to be many different thinga to use the distress stains for so am anxioux to find them and try them on some projects!
Great blog hop!
blogger wouldn't let me leave on comment on Linda's blog. It just kept sending me in circles.
Until today I have only tried the distress stains on chipboard but I'm looking forward to trying it in all kinds of ways now. :)
I like the streaky-blended look one can get with the Distress stains.
I like the streaky-blended look you can get with the Distress stains.
I would love to win, love all things tim
I just got my Distress Stains, so haven't a lot of experience yet. I am really loving your Better with Color series! Great projects, hints and tutorials. (my only problem is that I am not able to comment on Linda's blog no matter what I try. Must be a google problem.)
another fun hop...thanks for all the great ideas and tips....
i am lovin' that you are showing how to use the products you sell. i hope to get some of the distress staing soon. i also want more of the distress ink pads. thank you.
Great ideas! Can't wait to get to the craft room!
I have never used this product before, but I think I definetly need to go out and get some and start playing immediately.
I love the distress stains they are so easy to work with and gives lots of beautiful color. I have a few of the colors that have been out for awhile now - happy to see more color choices now.
Great tips, videos and beautiful designs by the DT! Thanks for the inspiration, can't wait to these these distress stains!
Love, love, love the video link! Tim Holtz videos are wonderful and so are the Distress Stains. Only have one thus far but am hungry for more!
So glad to see the distress stains being used on projects. It so helps when deciding whether to invest in them. Thanks to your DT! :)
Thanks for all the great ideas!
The colors are beautiful and certainly fill a space very quickly.
Thanks for the ideas- i have all of the original stains and haven't used them so much.
I love the stains I have. Picket Fence is on the top of my list - I love how it softens the colors.
I had never seen the Distress Stains before and after seeing Tim's video, I can't wait to try them! I would like to try them on some plain white scarfs. I can never find the colors of scarfs I need. This might be the answer!I also have an old canvas book bag that has seen better days and want to decorate it with the Distress Stains and embellishments.
I have purchased Distress Stains ... but sadly admit I have yet to make anything with them yet ... off to check out the talented design team for some inspiration.
Wow, the girls did some beautiful work as usual!! Thanks for the chance to win.
Distress stains are super cool, a bucket-ful of possibilities! xx
I love the Distress Stains and enjoyed seeing how the team used them in their projects. They are so easy to use and blend and work very nicely on embossed chipboard.
You can find my latest project using the Stains here.
Thanks for the chance to win these new products!
All fabulous posts by the dt!!!! Thanks for the chance to win!!!
The team made some fabulous art, thanks for all the tips on using Distress Stains. I applied them on a wooden box first coated in gesso.
Thanks for the link. It was great, so many new ideas!!
Great link, thank you! I only have one distress ink (antique linen) and I have not used it yet. Love the look on paper and altered items. I would love to try them! TFS
I personally like how the "Distress Stains" go on the Maya Road chipboard pieces (or any chipboard) so nicely. It's a quick way to color your chipboard.
