Bonus 10 pts: Extra distressing: On top of the 3 different inkpads and 2 different dyes I used, I also burned the edges of the newspaper articles and the letter about Dogwood (hidden inside large photo on first page). the same letter was crumpled and tea stained. I also Sanded around the letters in the title. I just couldn't sand on my photos!
