Card Backgrounds with Book Pages

April 19, 2021 by Heather Holbrook

Card Backgrounds with Book Pages

One of my favorite things to use in my mixed media projects are old book pages. They have such amazing illustrations and text and the age can add interesting vintage coloration on the paper. Gina K used some book pages and added her own distress color with inks for some cool card backgrounds on her cards.
