Distressed edges tutorial

Hi all
I've been asked about how to  distress the edges like the ones on my layouts. Today i will teach you how to get this simple effect.

 First you will need some water and a sponge.

 dab the edges with water but be careful not to soak it or your page will end up limp and with disintegrate.

 let it dry a little so it is a bit damp and the roll the edges between your fingers, you may need to wet your fingers to stop the paper drying out.

 you should have something like this, don't worry it doesn't have to be perfect.

t

 to make the tear, make a cut in the paper and wet the edges and roll the paper over itself.  you can then stick coloured card or other materials behind it.

to  get this effect i wet the page in a semi circle shape and made a small tear in the center and just rolled the paper down the page.
