Distress Spray Stain


Today's card features Antique Linen Distress Spray Stain on nearly all the elements. You can see by the different shades on this card that I started with several different paper colors (white, cream, manila) and applied more or less to achieve different tones.The background (manila) has a heavier layer and looks vintage and stained while the the tag is lightly spritzed white paper and looks totally different!

Really beautiful project, Esther! Love the color combo! I really only use my stains for splatters, but I have the original ones that aren't in spray bottles.
