How to use it.
- Sanding removes the surface color on only the raised portions othe texture.
- For a rougher, worn look use a lower grit sandpaper - 100 grit or less. Remember, the lower the number the rougher the sand paper.
-
For a more subtle, blended look, use a higher grit sandpaper, such as a 180 or 220 grit. Sanding the non-textured side of the cardstock with a higher grit will create a very blended, subtle look.
 
- Antiquing combines both tearing and sanding with crumpling to add another level of dimension.
- Depending on the desired outcome, you can lightly crumple specific areas of the sheet or crumple the entire sheet into a ball. Flatten the sheet as desired, and sand the area you want to antique. For a more subtle look, flatten the sheet as much as possible prior to sanding.
- You can also use more advanced level techniques such as spritzing and heat flattening. Lightly spritzing the sheet with water prior to crumpling, then ironing on a low heat setting, will allow the sheet to flatten more.
- Crumpling and sanding the un-textured side of the cardstock will also create a more subtle look.
