Painted Kraft tag with May Flaum

May Flaum here, and what I realy wanted was to figure out a way to have colors stand out vibrantly yet in a distress kind of way onto my kraft tag for this week's challenge. What I found is that Distress paints are perfect for this - and I made my tag into the card you see above.

Coloring is the real fun part in a project like this, and the distress paints truly were made to do things just like this! To truly explain my process I thought a video would be the way to go:

If you've got distress paints I hope you give this idea a try! I've got a second card (made from the tag you see at the end of the video) up on my blog today too!
