distress stain spirals

I could not wait to finally ink up this Sweet Threads Spirals stamp.

 

I have been wanting to try it out with my DIstress Stains. Here is the first card using just Spun Sugar and Dusty Concord-I really wish it came in Worn Lipstick!  

 
Stamps: Sweet Threads Spiral, sentiment from Truly Appreciated (Hero Arts)

 I got a little more adventurous with this one and decided to use 4 colors (Wild Honey, Broken China, Spun Sugar and Peeled Paint). I really like how easy and fun it is to ink up these big background stamps with Distress Stains.
