Okay, so I have to confess. I don't have kraft paper so I found some old scrapbook paper packs I bought at the dollar tree and used one of the thick cardboard pieces they put in the pack to keep it from bending the papers. So I think it looks pretty close to kraft paper. I sponged the edges of sage & orchid with the corresponding inks. The butterfly stamp was versa marked and embossed with clear powder. That piece of *kraft* was sponged on the edges with orchid ink.
I also have to tell you how much I love my new *toy*. I got this paint marker at Office Depot and it's wonderful!!! My white gel pen skips and this paint marker is clean and smooth. LOVE IT! So I added a few touches with it on the edges and corners. I even added a gleam in the butterfly's eye

I think 'craft' was designed to look like cardboard (or paper bags) so you did the right thing. I have done similar things in the past! I don't have opulent orchid, so I am planning to recycle a card I have received from a fellow SCS er. Hope she doesn't mind!
Anyway, I love your card. I've always loved that butterfly and I love the way you dotted the brads (or did they come that way?)
