This afternoon was more challenging for me. We are learning how to use stains. One of the products we were to use is no longer available and there were no alternate choices listed. I tried to find one on the web but no go. Oh well, I just had to move past it. I am also a bit limited on colors with stains too. I have two colors: A grass green and Cotton Candy which is a very light pink. I also have three metallic stains and White Picket Fence. I was still able to achieve the techniques.

Day 5 Tags
Tag 1 was supposed to use Kraft Resist paper which is no longer being made. I tried to approximate it by clear embossing an image on a Kraft tag. I then used stains to create a background over it. When it was dry I stamped the flowers on it. The embossing didn't allow the stamp to come into contact with the paper enough to be really crisp but you can still see the embossed image a bit.
On Tag 2 I applied the distress stains directly to the Kraft tag. Then I added a little distress ink for more color. I stamped the background image using White Picket Stain. And finally I stamped the butterflies in permanent ink.
Tag 3's background was achieved by applying distress stains to my kraft mat and then swiping the tag through. I also added a little distress ink for a bit more color. Them images are then just stamped on using permanent ink.
I'ts margarita time!
