Hello Glitz peeps, I am sharing a quick and easy way to distress your cards. I really like the personality it gives a card; the shabby, vintage look that I adore!
I use a tiny scrap piece of paper to distress and layer, if you like adding a little summin, summin this is a great way to do it. It is a easy way to add a splash of color too. I distress the two sides that will be shown, I distressed three sides on this one, wasn't thinking...there is no need to do that.
On the side, I tore a piece a little deeper into the card, luv this look!
Here is the distressing tool I used on this card. I have many ways of distressing I use a file sometimes, a sanding block, and I have been known to use my fingernail too..lol.
Here is the back of the card with the two tiny pieces of scraps glued down. No need to use a whole sheet of paper, use up those scraps!
Here is the final card with the edges distressed and the corner curled down, totally cute!
Supplies Used:
Glitz Designer Paper: Love You Madly
Glitz What Nots: Love You Madly
Glitz Designer Paper: Love You Madly and Uncharted Waters
Glitz What Nots: Love You Madly

Have a wonderful day, be sure to sprinkle it with a little Glitz!
