Crafting with wrapping paper

I found an awesome roll of wrapping paper at Savers the other day for 99-cents. I thought the print and thin paper-bag texture would make for some great Vagabond die action. I was right. I cut a few pieces and used colored pencils, something I haven't touched in years, to jazz it up a bit. I was so pleased with the results I made a birthday card for my mother-in-law with one of my cut-outs.

 

The piece at center-left was torn, scrunched and aged with ink in an attempt to make it appear leather-like. It actually worked, and I can't wait to try a larger piece and maybe apply it to a book. These will probably go into my Smash Book.
