Highlighter Distress Stains

How fantastic that Ranger are introducing their Seasonal 3 pack Distress Ink Pads as individual colours to boost the range of Distress Inks to 48!  I have 3 of the 4 sets, just can't see me using the "Summer" range of brights though... just not me.   Now I can't wait until he extends the Distress Stains to include these same colours, mmmmm..... Iced Spruce in Distress Stains.....heaven!  So this fortnight's teechnique is once again using the Distress Ink Pads as well as highlighter pens.  The highlighters are very bright, fluoro colours but the Distress Stains add that grungey, dirty look to them that tones the colour right down but still gives a great base colour.   I had seen this done in a mag before but wanted to play around with it to see if it could be extended and altered, of course it can - add some clear embossing powder, some water, a bit of book paper and Glossy Accents and it alters the look of it.
