I really like these papers from a freebie pad that came with a magazine......they have that old muted colour to them that goes well with a vintage-look.

Supplies: green card base, kraft cardstock, parchment paper, Hot Off The Press Forever Christmas Cards paper stack, self adhesive paper lace, EK Success holly sticker, sentiment sticker, foam pads, ds tape.

Tools: Sizzix Big Shot, Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels Four dies, guillotine.
