I must confess...

there is a distinct possibility that I have a serious addiction to Ranger Distress Stains!  I have spent most of this lovely Sunday just playing with different items and pieces that I have picked up over the past week or so.  I have to say...the Distress Stains are simply DIVINE!  WOW!  I was so impressed how well they worked with just about everything I put them on!  In this project, I used them on paper, grunge and art parts...and I am thrilled with the results!


I especially liked how well the stains worked on paper...went on very smooth, but not too "perfect" so there is still some texture and interest in the paper...know what I mean?  LOL!  Off to play some more!

    OMG, it's absolutely gorgeous! I'm usually not a fan of altered pieces but this one could very well make me change my tune!
