Smile Antique paper...

How do I get my paper to look old? Any ideas or techniques that would work? Thanks for your help!

You can sand it in different directions... you can crumple it and then flatten to make it look old and you can even take a stamp pad directly to the paper to make it look aged... usually yellows and browns work good. Or, after crumpling... lay it out... take a sponge with some ink and go over the cardstock lightly to enhance the wrinkles.... Age away!!! Have fun.
