Question: I am trying to make a frame with scrapbook paper on it I cut the paper out to fit the frame and tried to stain around the edges but you can see the brush marks. Do you have a stain you like or an easy way to do it?
Answer: I usually use any kind of stain that I can find that is cheap. This includes distress ink. It doesn’t actually have to be stain to give the same effect. I use the distress ink pad or the bottle and a soft cloth.
The best way to prevent brush marks is how you apply it. I usually use a soft cloth or foam brush on the edges (or the ink pad).
