I started out intending to make a Kraft & Cream card and ended up here. I am happy with the sublte colors though. The lace trim is vintage as is the key. Images are available from Innovative Stamp Creations
My speciality paper is the textured swirl layer which is by The Paper Company and was a pearlized white before it was misted with distress reinkers.
There are tons of details on this one, they are all on my Blog if you are interested in the nitty gritties.
