Distressing Portions of Your Project
The sanding block can be used to make items like paper
or buttons look old or worn. When you rub the sanding block across basic
cardstock, it will gain a worn and rough appearance, but the color will not
change. This is because Stampin’ Up!’s cardstock has the color consistent
throughout. If you crumple the cardstock first, then when you sand, the worn
appearance will not be consistent, because the sanding block will catch the
edges that have been bent up more than the edges that have been bent away.
When you sand any of the Designer Series Papers,
The buttons vary when you sand them. Some of the colors will be removed with sanding, but some colors only fade or appear aged. For example in my sample, the Bashful Blue button revealed white when sanded, but the Mellow Moss button only faded to a lighter shade. The Chocolate Chip button was affected very little by sanding. The surface got less glossy and smooth, but the color remained largely the same. You can experiment with the different colors of buttons to discover what they will reveal when sanded.
