You will need:
-a nonstick mat
-a paint palette
-scissors
-white paint
-a stencil brush
-the photo you want to alter
1. Run the blade of your scissors along the edge of the photo to mildly distress it. I don't recommend the edge distresser for this step as your photo may tear.
2.Pour a little bit of white paint on your palette and spread it around so that your brush will only get a light coating of paint on it.
3. Start applying the paint on the craft sheet and slowly work the brush toward the photo. As you do this, hold the brush at an angle and apply lightly. This is very important in order to avoid harsh straight lines.
4.That's it! You're done! The paint 'frame' can be as wide or narrow as you desire.
I hope you found this tutorial useful and that you give it a try!

Great effect!
thanks for the tut.
Thanks for sharing ............it just sets off the photo lovely :)
I just saw one of those brushes today at Michaels and was not sure for what all it was used for....thank you for showing me how :) I love this effect!!!
I tried it but the effect isnt as good as yours. My brush was different too oh well I'll keep on trying maybe a shaving brush might do the trick :)
This is a great effect, especially if you have a ton of past photos printed and can't do the photo editing on the computer. I am going to give this a whirl. I have to find my old stencil brushes! :)
