Step 1
Begin by shaking your bottle of Distress Paint.
Step 2
Brush the paint onto the tag with the built- in brush and apply a medium coat of paint to approximately two-thirds of the tag. Make some dry brush strokes along the sides for a cool effect.
For small cracks, apply a thin coat of paint and for larger cracks apply a heavy coat of paint.
Step 3
Next, set it aside to dry. You can speed up the process with a Heat it Craft Tool once the paint has started to crack
Step 4
Ink the entire tag with Vintage Photo Distress Ink, applying it with the blending tool in a circular motion. Repeat with Fired Brick ink just on the edges.
Step 5
Stamp image onto tag using Black Soot ink.
Step 6
Spray water from the Mini Mister onto a paper towel, and wipe the wet paper towel over the painted portion of the tag to remove the ink.
Step 7
Rub the edges of the tag with the Black Soot Distress ink pad to add more definition.
Step 8
Finish off your tag with embellishments. I used ribbon, buttons, rubs and a brad.
Step 9
Add the tag to your finished project.
