Giving "Antique" Look to Laser Prints

I have some old magazines from the early 1900's and love the nice ivory color of the pages. I was wanting a source for more of those vintage fashion plates for my ATC's, but was thinking that, even if I collected them from Google images, when I printed them out on white paper they just wouldn't look like the ones in my old magazines. So I got an idea to "antique" them.

I mixed some inks with some water (I used All-purpose Inks for fantastix just because I had them) until, when testing it on white paper, I got a nice ivory finish. Then, using a dampened craft sponge, I dabbed a little of my ink mixture onto the sponge and sponged it over my printed page. It took some trial and error to get it to the right mixture of water/ink so it wouldn't be too dark, but I finally managed to get it to the shade of ivory which I wanted. After letting it dry, I tore out my pictures, and distressed the edges a bit more with a tan ink pad.

I also tried printing the images on some light weight faux parchment paper I had in ivory and a mottled tan. That also gave a nice look (better than white) but I liked the look of the sponged on ink mixture better. Below are photos of 3 of the images, one on white paper, one on the ivory parchment and the 3rd with my "antique" look and distressed edges.
