Just wondering if any of you dye the paper and what is your way of doing it.
I really like the aged look it gives...thank you...gail

I take a shallow pan and make very strong instant coffee in it. Lay the paper in it for a few minutes and then take it out and let it dry. If it is not dark enough I will repeat.
Then I put the leftover coffee in a spray bottle and will spritz the dry paper to add a little interest.
If I tear or distress the paper when using it I will use distress ink to make the edges dark to go with the coffee coloured paper.
You can also use tea, some flavoured teas have different colours to them. You can also add a little vanilla to the coffee to change the smell.
ETA: You can also use re-inker in the bath for a multitude of colours.
If your paper warps just iron it.
