Description A while back asked me about tea-staining based off this pic [link] after trying, and failing, to find a tutorial to direct him to I went ahead and typed up some brief notes for him; but the more I thought about it, the more it bothered me that there wasn't a tea-staining tutorial (that I could find) on DA.
So I made my own

I hope it makes sense
Let me know what you think.

There's another tutorial that covers other kinds of dying paper here [link]

Lemon Lift! <3  I drink obscene amounts of that stuff.  It's what I'm drinking right now (and what inspired me to look up tea staining tutorials... I go through a ton of bags).  Glad to see it's useful for this.


Thanks for posting this!

This looks so neat. O.o I didn't even know people used to tea to stain paper. I'll have to try this some day...And that picture you used this on is very pretty, I like the colors. :3

to be clear, I didn't use this exact tea-stain on that pic...just the same techniques. I've only done maybe 3 physical pics using tea-staining; I mainly just scan them in and keep them around to add texture to stuffs in photoshop
