WELCOME TO THE BUFFALO STAMPS AND STUFF MONDAY IDEA.
Today's idea is to create a faux burnt edge. I used to burn the edges of wedding invitations and decoupage them to a decorative board and paint flowers as gifts for brides. The burnt edges were to make them look aged. I used a candle and had lots of burnt fingers along the way.
This technique is done with distress inks!
There is an explanation of the technique here
Close up of edges.
Pretty simple technique. Rip the paper toward you so it leaves ragged edges.
I used Frayed Burlap first, then Black Distress ink, just on the very edges, to achieve
the burnt edge look.

Sue, sorry I'm late with this comment. This is absolutely, out of this world, beautiful. I'll go check out the site for this technique. I have always loved burnt edges. I used to always do it with a match held to the paper and, also, burn my figners. I'd go through a whole book of matches for one paper. Boy have times changed, huh. This one should be framed and hung someone in your home, it is that nice. Thanks so much for sharing.
What a gorgeous card Sue,I love the image and your papers.
