Thanks! Yes, I used a small brush to paint in the scarlet dye. Let it dry completely then add a few coats of sealer. Then antique! I did seal the outer border with a couple more coats of sealant than the inner knotwork. This is how I achieved a lighter border than the knots. The antiquing darkened the inner part just enough.
