Make sure you leave a comment here letting us know how much you have been enjoying the 12 Days of Techniques! AND CLICK HERE to check out the video.
Today Char Dobson has a wonderful technique for our 9th day….Antiquing!
First, cut your image and then crinkle it.
And Sand. Char sands in this dish because it helps catch some of the dust (such a great idea!):
Embellish it….
And Voila!!! You have a gorgeous project:
Here are a few more examples Char created for us today. See how antiquing looks great as the background?
And these gorgeous wine bottles!!! How cool does that Black Magic look???
So are you ready for yesterdays winner???????

the banner is a really neat idea. TFS
I like the banner. Can make that with longer words too! nice work simple great idea.
another cool idea for the core-dination cardstock! WOW!
All the projects are awesome and so inspiring. I just love this Antiquing technique. Love the look and what a fun way to add add texture to a project.
This is my favorite technique so far.
It’s a great affect, adds so much character to any piece and you don’t need anything special in order to use this method. Anyone can try it and have fun with it! 
This is a great technique and I cannot wait to try it. I love the gloves banner!
Every thing is so amazzing, some I already use and others are new for me.
I love it all
I am loving it – it is so much fun to see all the techniques used in such pretty and inspiring projects!! Thanks for 12 days of fun and motivation(not to mention a fab product)!!!!
BEAUTIFUL! love the black magic paper with the light blue underneath and the blue christmas trees label. cute!
WOW…..what a cool technique. I’d have never thought of that! THANK you soooo much for sharing. Will have to try this. I’ve learned some new techniques this week and can’t wait to see tomorrows.
I have done the crinkle and sand technique before actually I use that one a lot
Gorgeous projects. Love this series – I am learning so many cool techniques!!!

This is such a neat idea. Thanks for sharing.
Love the gritty appearance from antiquing, instead of one stop shopping this one stop paper it does everything, thanks for all the wonderfull techniques!!
It’s been fun being reminded of these fun techniques! Thanks!
wow…so simple and it looks so awesome! who knew?! Thanks so much for sharing!
Isn’t paper so darn amazing…all the things you can do to it and it’s looks great. Love the whole crinkle effect and sanding and yes, the tray is a great way to catch the dust. Thanks again for another helpful training. Hugs, Lori
This is my favorite technique so far. I wanna try it!!! Wow, I love it. Thank you!
loving all the techniques-really making me think outside the box!
Wow! I love this idea! Especially the wine bottles! I have to go try that! What an excellent way to dress up a gift!
I love this technique, it adds such a beautiful look to any project. i love using it.
this is such a lovely technique, it give that added special touch to my crafts…thanks for sharing.
I am loving all the great new (at least to me) techniques you are sharing with us! Today’s projects look awesome!
I’ve wondered how this was done! Thanks for sharing!
I like antiquing alot…showed some of my CTMH friends one day and they were shocked. I also like to put a little ink on the edges of “regular” paper. Core’dinations is fine without anything else.
I love the 12 Days of great ideas! The antiqued look is fab!

I love this technique, thanks for sharing these beautiful projects!
Another great technique!! Just bought my first Core’dinations paper yesterday. (Had to drive an hour to get there.) Can’t wait to try out these great products and techniques. Thanks for all the opportunities to win. Glad I found out about y’all.
oh wow that is sooo clever I love it!!! and love the look that it creates.. that banner is totally darling
Oh my Goodness, I am learning so much from all these techniques. i have watched all the video’s and know what to do after the holidays. Thanks for broadening my horizons.
very cool idea. Love the banner
Learning these techniques is wonderful…I never stopped to think of so many if anyone would have asked. I like this one today and have used this technique a lot. At lot of times I use this and use an ink pad to help make it look antique. Thanks for the opportunity to learn more.
what a simple but effective technique.
have not used this one much, will have to give it a try.
Thanks for the fun!

Another great idea for the use of Core’dinations cardstock. It is nice to be reminded how east this card stock is to use.
I love the mittens. The effect makes it look like snow in the background. Can’t wait to try the technique!
Love those mittens, looking well worn, like they’re hung up on the line to dry after an afternoon of playing outside.
Great projects Charlotte!
Lovely idea. That antiquing makes them look so real.
This is GREAT! I have always been SO diligent about NEVER bending my Core’dinations paper – who knew that I should have been crumpling it up all along??? AMAZING EFFECT!! This paper is even more versatile than I imagined!
Great technique…love the look it creates.
love this technique!
WOW – Day 9 already??? Who knew there were so many different techniques to be explored in our paper crafting hobby. These ideas have all been fabulous, and easy enough that I will definitely give them a try in my cardmaking projects. Thanks so much!
I love your paper. When I originally saw it, I didn’t have time to get any. I made it a point to return to the store a few days later, intent on getting a piece or two. I bought 45 sheets!
Love that mitten banner! Such a simple technique, too!
