Dry thoroughly.
-Trim away excess paper with scissors.
-Grab a solid stencil + apply Crackle Paste through the stencil.
-To help blend the stenciled design into the background, spread a little more paste around the tag and around the stenciled numbers.
-Let everything air dry completely.
-Choose two Distress Oxide Sprays from the same color family.
-Spray small amounts of color onto the tag without oversaturating the surface.
Use a brush to help blend the colors together.
-Before drying with a heat tool, use a baby wipe if you feel you added too much color. Dry thoroughly.
-Take a darker Distress Ink + ink edges of the tag to create depth.
-Repeat the process with a brown shade to add even more dimension.
To bring the texture back to life, apply a little Distress Spray Stain directly from the bottle nozzle. A tiny amount is enough. Lightly mist with water + use a brush to work the color into the cracks.
Dry again + use Black Distress Oxide Ink to increase contrast.
-Stamp a few small details to add visual interest.
-Apply Foundry Wax with your fingers using a very light touch to enhance the raised texture.
-Heat set well to fix the wax.
-Add a few extra ink splatters if needed.
-Finish with your clusters, sentiment, ribbon and your tag is complete!
