You might try sanding it lightly - this will lighten up the color as it takes some of the stain/wood away!

I actually printed the words/numbers from a computer. Then, I traced it with tissue paper (pencil). I took the tissue paper to the project, and retraced it with a very fine sharpie. It slightly bled through and left a faint outline that I filled in. Since sharpie is not advised you could try pencil- but the concept may work for other future projects.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5085886935587827281.post-4578338524558586892013-01-24T15:38:26.244-06:002013-01-24T15:38:26.244-06:00What kind of paint pen did you use?What kind of paint pen did you use?Daniel and Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06088442350554050873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5085886935587827281.post-1979279197612556212013-01-24T15:38:08.322-06:002013-01-24T15:38:08.322-06:00What kind of paint pen did you use?
