Tutorial - Distressing papers - Part 1

Hi everyone

As you all know - I distress almost every card I make...

This is just a simple and quick Tutorial (Will update it with more samples later)

Step One:

I recommend Tim Holtz' Paper Distresser - got 7 knives 

(and you don't cut yourself, even if you tried to)

Then you get your paper - and start distressing

back and forth

Until your paper looks like this:

...here you'll see my second paper:

NB: move your hands along with where you distress 

Then you have better controll

And here I got my two pieces togehter

...It's a good start for my card 

A smaller piece

to match my Magnolia "tag"

Hope you liked this tutorial

- a bit step by step :)

Hugs, Anja
