to, paint dabbers are <em>terrific!<\/em>\u00a0 Instead of having to get out paint, paintbrushes and a dish for the paint, you simply pick up a paint dabber, give it a squeeze and use it like a

<span>grungeboard<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span>To give them a wonderfully distressed and aged look (and quite change the colors) we then inked our pages with Distress Inks.\u00a0 The paint resisted the ink, but the exposed grungeboard took it, resulting in awesome looking pages.\u00a0 You can see this page below was painted with a <\/span><a title=\"Lettuce

Crafting, sewing and making things with my hands have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I\u2019ve often been asked to teach my crafts, and have found I love doing so. My online tutorials, in PDF and video, as far as I\u2019m concerned, are the ultimate teaching tools. Be sure to subscribe so you don\u2019t miss a thing.
