Distressing Playtime

I have been playing with my new Distress Stains and Tim Holtz stamps and made a couple of tags in the process.

For this butterfly tag I put the Distress Stains on my craft mat and swooshed my card for the tag background and the butterflies over it and dried with a heat gun in between swooshes and edged the tag with Distress Ink. The butterflies were covered with Glossy Accents.

On this second tag I applied Spun Sugar Distress Stain directly onto the card and then stamped and clear embossed the background script. I then dipped the tag into Spun Sugar and Broken China Distress Stains on my craft mat and let it dry naturally. I used the Distress Stains to change the colour of the lace and fibre. The flower was made using Neil Walker's "Paper Transformation" technique that I'd seen him demonstrate at the Craft Barn Extravaganza.
I'm entering this tag in the Craft Barn Tim Holtz Challenge
