Ok, I seriously went to town and back with this one. It started being an AJ page and suddenly it was a bit of everything.

Thanks! I worked with it for a while, then my machine was out of space so I almost lost it all, but managed to save it. I love how this technique makes the background paper even more distressed and crumbly. I seriously love it. I had to use some constraints to stop and not add anything else. LOL!!!!

Ok, I cannot get a color to show after doing the texture step. It's just that default gray color. How do I make it colored??

Sometimes the trick is to change the "range" to something different, sometimes it works better with highlights, other times with midtones and others with shadow. It depends on your background color.

I never knew that I could use various brushes with the burn tool. What fun that was!
