Blending your stains

Outside the art world you wouldn't dream of blending your stains.  They are usually hard enough to get out of clothes, etc. on their own without combining them.  lol  But in the art world, blending is very much accepted and often desired.

The 21st CCCv2 challenge hosted by Linda at Studio L3 is Blended Stains and the details can be found on p. 45 of Tim's 2nd bookSimon Says Stamp is offering a $25 gift certificate to a randomly chosen winner.  Thank you!  So let's start staining and not worrying about the mess!
