I love these TIM HOLTZ distress inks. I didn't think I would,but there are so many ways to use these inks. They blend beautifully with the other distress ink colors. I even used the timber brown on a piece of furniture in my bath where the black paint on the shabby chic linen chest had worn too much. I decided to try it and see how it would do and look. Wow, it looked great with the brown wall paper trim and it blended right into the black. I even took some of the shabby shutters and went over it. I am so pleased with the finish and so was my husband.
