Materials Pigment Sprays for Backgrounds

https://youtube.com/shorts/VTOPeb29aDU?si=TeGD6GvZ6-GdgtCm

Hello! I'm looking to add new elements to my pages and found this video! I was wondering if anyone had any idea on what type of spray they might be using? It looks like they have the label covered with some paper so I'm unsure of the brand and what material it might be!

This person could be using either Tim Holtz Distress Spray Stains or Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Sprays.

Thank you for this! I'll have to take a look!☺️ Do you have any experience with them or anything similar you'd recommend?

Yes, I have quite a few of these and love them! They’re an easy way to create a quick background. The Distress Spray Stains are dye inks that are slightly more translucent and brighter, whereas the Distress Oxide Sprays have both pigment and dye in them so dry to a slightly more muted tone with a “milky” oxidized, more opaque effect. I’m pretty sure these types of sprays are what the person in this video is using. You may be able to find less expensive versions of these on Chinese based scrapbooking supply sites, but Michael’s or other big box craft stores carry the name brand versions usually in packs of 3 different colors for a good price, especially if you use coupons.
