So I thought I'd have a go at a bit of a tutorial:
You will need:
The thing to be distressed
Ink
Cotton buds
Cocktail stick
Scrap paper (or inking mat)
Sponge (TIP I used the foam that my brads came on)
1. Lightly dab the ink pad with the sponge. Using small circular movements, work from the scrap inwards to the card.
3. Carefully put tiny rips all around the edges.
5. Dab the cotton bud into the ink and apply it all around the very edges, including the rips. I use a darker ink for this.
Done.
2. When it's done, turn it over and do the other side.
3. Carefully put tiny rips all around the edges.
4. Wet your finger and carefully roll the rips around a cocktail stick.
5. Dab the cotton bud into the ink and apply it all around the very edges, including the rips. I use a darker ink for this.
Done.
