Applying graphic backgrounds to parchment paper can give you a very crafty look. It is a great way to add a modern touch to something you want to appear antique-like. You could use this type of background as the matting of an old picture in a similarly old picture frame. This would also be a great background to use in a scrapbook of old black and white or sepia colored photos. Check out
