SATURDAY WORKOUT - ANTIQUE PAPER

I was pleased to learn the theme was Antique Paper. I salvaged this truly antique background paper a number of years ago from a local stationery supply shop that is nearing or over the 100 year old mark. I paid for it, but very little. I think at the time they just wanted to clear out the top floor of their very old building. It is naturally aged in color and some pieces almost crack to the touch...I love it.
I have used collage images from ALTERED PAGES
Rubber Stamps are from Hero Arts.
