It&#39;s essentially Distress ink in a bottle, so it has all the qualities of Distress&#8230;blendable, reactive with water, etc. The difference is that it is in a bottle with an applicator top, so you can easily color in large areas without having to do lots of direct-to-paper pressing with your pads. What can I say, I&#39;m a slave to all things Ranger.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#0160;  <a href=\"http:\/\/dinastamps.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00d83451cff869e20147e243223c970b-popup\" onclick=\"window.open( this.href, &#39;_blank&#39;, &#39;width=640,height=480,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0&#39; ); return false\" style=\"display: inline;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"DistressStains_BrokenChina\" class=\"asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00d83451cff869e20147e243223c970b\" src=\"https:\/\/dinastamps.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00d83451cff869e20147e243223c970b-120wi\" title=\"DistressStains_BrokenChina\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>My good friend <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rangerink.com\/products\/prod_stamps_dylusions.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dyan Reaveley has released stamps<\/a>&#8230;so cool!
