Vintage Paper Tutorial

Get some scrapbook style ideas with this Vintage Paper Tutorial.  Using an ink pad and a piece of paper, you can create a "stain" that will make anything look vintage.  DIY projects can be chic and stylish!

Materials:

• Whatever relevant craft you are working on and would like to ink (although it may be worth trying it out on a piece of scrap paper first)
• An ink pad
   

Instructions:

1. Get the item you want to ink and your ink pad.
    
2. At a 90 degree angle run the edge of your paper along the ink pad.  This provides just a touch of color around the edges.
   
   
   
   
    
3. To get a more defined look put the paper at 45 degrees and brush it towards you across the ink pad, in short quick strokes.
