I made the inked edge on the background paper by playing around in the layer dialogue box, using a woman named Tamara's base:

I opened up Layers --> Inner Glow
I changed the blend mode to Color burn
Opacity 70%
Noise 40%

Then I chose my color of shadow. I chose dark brown.

Under elements I changed:
Technique: Softer
Source: Edge
Choke: between 2-25% (play around to what you like)
Size 18 px (play around to what you like)

Under Quality:
Countour: Half Round and anti-aliased checked

Range: 45-75% (play around to what you like)
Jitter: 45-75% (play around to what you like)
