Here is another way that you can use your distress stains.
I have had a play around with using them by applying the stain straight onto the stamp.
Congrats card set.
Here I have used it on a sentiment stamp.

1st dance exam tag.
Here I have used it on the background and ticket stamps. I did find that the stamped results when used with fine detailed stamps like the tickets was not as sharp as you would get with using Distress ink pads but on the background stamp that had a grungy distressed feel to it it worked a treat.
