Game On: Distressing alphas

[malinda]

Sanding alphas is quite a simple technique but one that I think really helps with making alphas stand out...and can be done on pretty much any type of alpha.

It works really well on CHIPBOARD alphas, however, it can also be a great way to highlight stickers...

So how is it done...

Position alphas


I like to sand diagonally so you get the outline of the alpha


and then sand as little or as much as you like.
