Now that I've been experimenting with different techniques for the past few weeks- I look at this page and think it's lacking some detail. But- details come with confidence! That, I'm learning too. For this page, I used Tim Holtz's Distress Stains. If you have any of these stains, you know that they come in a bottle with a "dabber"/ applicator top. This is amazing for quickly covering a background and give it a water-colored look.
Did you know you can paint with the stain, too? Tip your bottle upside-down, over a paint dish and use a small paint brush to push the dabber in, releasing the stain into the dish. All you need is a drop or two; it goes a long way. Once it's in your dish, you can paint with it like water-colors. How fun is that?! Now, you can use your stains for smaller details- not just large backgrounds!
