Thank you so much. I too have searched many times for a cheap alternative.

Just seen this video. I never thought of that idea with watercolours, you gave me a great idea now. Thankyou!

[Iloveflowers]

This is great, thank you so much. I knew there was a way of doing this without spending money on expensive distress ink and fancy supplies. I have plenty of paint, Watercolours and acrylic in a variety of colours etc. And so I wanted to use what I have.

[Kathieartcraftanddestash]

oh my goodness what a great idea and less costly too. Thank you for putting the link in crafting friends group so I could find it.

Thank you so much for this tip. I'm just starting out junk journaling with minimal supplies and this definitely helps. 🙏

TFS, I love seeing how to use things I have in various ways!

[nmurray]

This is so helpful! I don’t like to buy something that I’ll only use for one project. This is the perfect solution. Thank you.

[leoluminary]

Pringles lid🤣😂🤣. I’ve been using those Oreo cookie cup lids!

[gebswife]

Thank you for sharing great ideas for getting the “inked” distressing without the cost. Brilliant idea for sponges, too.
You are so creative and sweet!
Have a great weekend!

P.S. the meany who gave you a 👎 is jealous of your awesome ideas. There’s one in every crowd who has to be a grumper.

This is a great idea for colouring the edges of card/paper. Can you use it through a stencil or to completely colour die cut shapes? Thank you for sharing your ideas and experiences

[dilemmix]

Thanks for that video, it's very helpful! The price for distress oxide is so much! But can I also dab or spread it over a whole page, like if you wanted an antique-look page?
