Lydia shows you how to make a beautiful black and brown flower greeting card out of antique worn book pages. Lydia found this antique book at a used book store, and chose it because of its old, worn look. This card uses a beautiful silhouette image in a dark craft ink to contrast the type in the background. The card is very simple and elegant. This is a great gift to give to friends and family, especially people who love the rustic look. Lydia gives you tips in this lesson for working with old paper and using a background paper that is so busy.
