How To Sand it, Tear it and Antique it.
Sanding removes the surface colour on only the raised portions of the texture.
For a rougher, worn look use a lower grit sandpaper - 100grit or less. The lower the number the rougher the sandpaper.
For a more subtle, blended look use a higher grit sandpaper such as 180 or 220 grit
Tearing allows you to outline the surface colour with the "core'dinating"core.
For a wider torn section, pinch the paper between the thumb and forefinger of each hand where you want the tear to begin.
As the paper begins to tear, do not reposition your fingers. Use the direction of pull to guide the torn edge.
For a narrower tear line, pinch the paper between thumb and forefinger of each hand where you want the tear to begin.
Tear in increments of one inch and then reposition your fingers to follow the torn edge.
For a subtler tear use a ruler or decaled edge ruler as a guide and tear along the edge. This gives you greater control of the tear.
Antiquing combines both tearing and sanding with crumpling to add another level of dimension.
Depending on the desired outcome, you can lightly crumple specific areas of the sheet or crumple the entire sheet into a ball.
Flatten the sheet as desired, and sand the area you want antiqued. For a more subtle look flatten the sheet as much as possible.
Try spritzing your crumpled paper with water to add a worn look - especially great for edges.
