As I have never used any of the stains before, I had a little bit of fun playing around with them this month and found that when used over paint, they have a nice subtle effect.

On both of these layouts I have used 'Antique Linen Stain' over a cream paint.

On this one I have used dots and lines in a diagonal pattern over my painted paper following the pattern underneath.

Love how well you incorporate Tim Holtz with the Websters and take it from Grunge to downright pretty - great work - thanks for the inspiration Julie

These are beautiful Julie. Tim has very much a grungy style, but some of his colours are really quite pretty.

Great LO's, Julie.

Thanks girls.

I love seeing different collections work together!

More stunning work!!

These are beautiful Julie
