Hi Everyone! I wanted to share with you a really quick and easy way to "age" any prints, photo's, etc. to give it a more vintage and distressed look. All you need is a brown ink pad and cotton balls; that's it!
Dab the cotton ball in the ink a few times and rub it along the edges of your paper or picture. You can apply it as heavy or light as you want; you might want to practice on a few 'throw-away' pieces first. And I always use a paper plate underneath for easy clean-up.
Here's a comparison of aged vs. not-aged yet.
You can really see the difference. The aged, worn look gives so much more dimension to your craft project. Give it a try; it's so simple.
Have a bloomin' day!

That's a great idea. I was just making some Christmas tags tonight and your aging would be a nice touch. I'll also answer your question re pomegrantes. If you break and seed them under water in a big pot, you don't tend to stain everything around you red. Then I just freeze the seeds in freezer baggies. They freeze very well and last that way a long time. My tree is probably 40 years old. So it is pretty big for a tree of this type.
