More Distress Stain & Distress Inks Side By Side Comparison

Several people have asked for more of the Distress Stain vs. Distress Ink comparisons so here you go...one for each color other than the Antique Linen which was back-ordered when I placed my order.

Also, I wanted to mention that many people have asked for comparisons on the Adirondack Color Wash Line...  These inks don't match up with Distress Inks/Stains but they do match the Adirondack line of inks.  I will be working on those comparisons as soon as I have some time. 

And I haven't forgotten about the Liquid Pearl questions I have in my inbox...I am going to be sharing a few more "painting" techniques next week and will answer the questions at that time. 

So here goes...  

Distress Stain vs. Distress Inks.

All of the examples working from left to right are as follows:

Left = Distress Ink applied with the Ink Blending Tool
Center = Distress Stains
Right = Distress Ink applied to the cardstock directly from the ink pad or Direct to Paper.

    Fabulous comparison, thank you so much for the info. I have to say, I am loving the look of the weathered wood stain, and never in a million years would have thought that gray would be so pretty or that it would be on my wishlist!

    This is really helpful, thanks -I wasn't sure if the Stains would be different enough from the ink pads to justify buying but this has convinced me - much to my bank managers distress!!

    I seldom use my DIs direct from the pad like this. It seems like I'm always using my IBT with the exception of edging. When I need more color I just use more on the pad of my IBT. Thanks again for the info!! You are so helpful!!

    Thanks for the comparison. Really helps to decide whether or not they're worth having. Loved Uncle Dan's email!! So true and very funny. How about you know you're in 2011 when your oven breaks and wait a while before fixing it. You're computer breaks and you have it fixed the same day. That's me. Can live without my oven but no computer? Never!
