I have just recently started using kraft cardstock more myself so when Julia said to use kraft I knew I had to play. Thanks, Julia for a fabulous challenge.
I am using ODBD Cross of Christ set. I stamped a background image in vintage cream craft ink and let dry....no embossing. I also layered the Spellbinders Label 4 images. The lower label 4 kraft layer I ran through my crimper and then through the big kick to flatten the crimp look some. I sponged the edges in vintage cream craft ink. I finished my card with some organdy ribbon and pearl domes in the corners.
I thought my use of kraft cardstock with the cream lends itself to a more elegant look with this card. I would never have thought to use kraft for an elegant look, but it works for me.
