Hello everyone…I’m Back!!!
Today I have a quick card that can be easily mass produced. This card measures 5 ¼” x 5 ¼”. I chose the Shabby Chic Technique to give this card an aged antique look. This card works great for any occasion.
Shabby Chic Technique
Wrinkle cardstock or patterned paper by balling up the paper then straightening it back out. You may need to repeat this a few times to get the look you want. The crumpled paper can then be chalked or inked lightly. The chalk or ink will mainly adhere to the creases making the paper look worn.
Ink or chalk the edges of your paper for a distressed look. Hold your paper in one hand and rub the edges along your ink pad. Using Stampin’ Up! NEW Distressing Essentials makes this project complete in minutes. Distressing Essentials includes tools that make it easier than ever for you to create a distressed, vintage appearance on your projects. Includes the following tools:
· Sanding block and emery board for distressing Designer Series paper or smoothing the edges of paper that has been adhered to chipboard
· Precision files for sanding intricate die cuts and sanding in tight areas
· Blendable vintage ink and stamp for creating an aged appearance: Tea Stain, Charcoal, Mahogany, Navy ink
· Because vintage ink contains alcohol, they are not recommended for scrapbooking
