Have you ever tried using sand paper or those big block nail files to distress your stickers and clip art? I love this super quick way to get a worn vintage look. Start from the outside and work around and in or just sand random spots until you get the look you desire. I keep a bunch of different grit sand paper scraps and nail files in a water case box. This is also where I do most of my sanding. Try it and have fun creating your own vintage designs.
