Weeell... you might be about right about the vintage, though I was born after 65
@Mouse
Thanks, I'll check out the interweb and see if I can find a better background.
The good thing about doing this stuff on a computer, is that provided you set up your documents correctly, things like changing the background et al don't necessarily mean a lot of extra work! Though a drawing tablet would be much easier than a, excuse me, mouse.
Not that I mean to pry Mouse but I have a feeling you and I are of a similar vintage - I was born early-ish 60's.

@Mouse, Similar enough then!

Bogie, If we're young-uns, then you must be positively ancient, or an elder statesman at the very least
Hey what do you guys think of my mod to the background? I quickly knocked it up at work...

I'll have to re-visit Butch's tut's on how to get the "ink" to follow the folds - is that a displacement filter or something?
The parchment looks good.
Elder Statesman, I can live with that. Yeah, I've got a good decade on you, though I'm not sure if I'm bragging about it or whining!

Mate, a decade is nothing as long as you have your health and can stil do what you want! My dad was in his late eighties before he passed and while he was frail, he still got about under his own steam…mostly.
Well I'm not complaining. Now my hair's gone all grey and frizzly like Einstein's I now actually look the part of 'crazy old artist woman', as well as having been one for at least the last 40 years. So I'm growing into what I've always been, which makes me very happy with the state of thingsNow youngsters actually listen to me when I tell them to try painting a picture without using any black (the only way to get them to start thinking about colour theory).
The parchment looks great. Are you able to take the blueness down a bit? I'm not saying turn it yellow or anything, its just that blueness is something paper looses pretty quickly in a matter of weeks, never mind the years and a few inconvenient flames. Think: old paperback novel

I'll see what I can do...
Ok folks, here's the latest effort. Stupid me didn't realise that I hadn't started Google Drive on my work PC, which is obviously why I can't find stuff at home...so i had to redo what I'd already re-done...
So anyway, after attempting to make the subtle changes as above here is my latest WIP. Note: I've refrained from calling it 100% done as I'm sure someone will come up with an improvement that hasn't been mentioned and I'll learn some new trick trying to work it out.

@Mouse, I'm not sure what you mean by blueness, I'm guessing you mean the "brightness" of the paper? i tried darkening it with gradient fill layer set overlay (I think) let me know what you think. Of course any other critique suggestions by others are more than welcome.
