I've been experimenting (playing around!) with it & here's my attempt!...
The background text & the main quote are Tim's stamps,
the flowers are from a 'retro florals' set by Chocolate Baroque
I used a silvery pearl cardstock, which seems to work quite well. The background is in peeled paint & broken china. I embossed the quote & the middle flowers with dried marigold distress powder on top of spiced marigold distress ink.

| taken with flash, this shows the shine from the cardstock! |
At the moment, I've put it in a wooden frame - I did have a try doing the dabber resist technique on a frame, but I think I need some warmer/lighter colours of stains - the peeled paint in particular came out very dark on the wood - not the effect I was looking for at all!!! Once I've got a couple more colours, I'll have a go at the frame, with a few embellishments as well, of course!!
I didn't have as good success on other surfaces - here's one I did on linen-textured cardstock... I found it quite difficult getting the stain off the resist but leaving it on the background!! Again, I used the same colours of distress... (stamp by PaperArtsy)
Back soon (in June)! Kay x
