I remember sometime last year when I openly declared that I wasn't that into distress stains. Got to take it back now [hangs head in shame] because I'm in love! :)
The background on this 12x12 canvas was created with scrunched up wrapping tissue and distress stains and lots of water.
I also adhered some paper clips so that I can attach notes and photos to my canvas memo board...which was inspired by the Mood Board challenge at Zeus and Zoe.
P/s: Can't wait for you to meet this month's guest blogger! :) Have you entered my Faber Castell Design Memory Craft giveaway?
*Edited* This canvas memo board was published in Create: Vintage February 2014. :)

Wow this really is so pretty Yvonne! Perhaps you can give a tutorial on distress stains as they seem a bit like mists to me only mists are more versatile so I don't see the point in buying stains :/
