"Rolling" the edges of the paper

[Alison Wonderland]

How do you get that rolled-edge look that I see so much in the stamping up catalog? Is there a special technique or do you just tear the paper and roll on the edge? Is there a name for it--I am just calling rolled-edge cuz I don't know what else to call it.

When I do it, I tear the paper freehand and then wet my finger (ok, I lick it, I know it's gross) and then roll it. Wetting it weakens it and gets it to tear a little and it rolls better. Then sometimes I'll go back after it's dry and ink or chalk it. HTH!

Eww! TMI.

But I guess I would probably do the same, as I am not about to get up and go to the kitchen to get some water.
