I tried it on glossy cardstock and used a sanding block. . . it didn't come out like linen so am wondering what I did wrong! Did I not rub hard enough???

Hmm, it didn't work for me either. So then I tried sanding it again after I inked it, then it sort of looks like linen since some of the ink is scratched off. What are we doing wrong?

I had to rub a little harder to achive the look I was after & sand it with straight lines. I also like the idea of sanding it again after it has been inked. That would give a whole different look. I think I will try that sometime.

I sanded mine "normal pressure" and inked it with a light color. I then resanded it once with a bit more pressure. Then inked with a slightly darker shade of original color. Came out looking just like linen. Did one in yellow/beige and one in light blues. Really nice technique. Thanks so much for sharing it!!!!
