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???????

This is a great technique and add a little sanding and it can totally change the look of something. I have to say that the blue mitten card is so cute. I love to make holiday cards with blue, white and silver. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
I’ve done this before, and I love the effect! Thanks for sharing!!
Love the mittens and the trees on the wine bottles.
I love it. Never thought I was into antiques but I do crumble my paper to give it texture. Sweet.
How cool is that!
Thanks for another great idea!
Love this idea, especially for backgrounds. Gives a whole new dimension.
What an easy and cool looking technique!
I love the distressed black Core’dinations and how the light blue shines through. I loved it so much I had to go out today and get some of my own. It seems the techniques are endless! Keep ‘em coming, the videos are so helpful.
cute project!
For years we tried to keep our papers wrinkle-free, and now wrinkles are chic!! (Can we say the same for the ones on our faces? Please?) Thanks for the beautiful projects. I especially loved the mittens!
