Faffing about with stains

Wow, have you seen Tim's new video about Distress Stains?  How cool is this?  And do I want all the colours?  Oh yes.....

So this evening I was messing about with a tag and some stains (fired brick, wild honey and broken china, with a bit of picket fence thrown in for good measure).  Used the wrinkle free method on the craft sheet.

Spritzed it with some perfect pearl spray for some shimmer and stamped Wendy's stars in coffee archival.  Had a snippet of left over tag from a reject tag that I used for the sentiment that I coloured with some of the same stains.   Made a very bad flower from glassline paper. (am very out of practice at these flowers!) It looks a bit better in the photo than real life....

Thanks for looking.
