  • 1. Distress tag using Distress Oxide ink. Designer’s Tip: Water it down and run the tag through the ink mixture.
    2. Crumble up the Adhesive Sheets 4×6 into a ball and add in random spots on the tag.
    3. Lay the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets over the sticky spots (color side facing UP) and pull them up.
    4. Repeat the process until you achieve a distressed look. The tag is ready to be stamped and stencils added.
