Kraft Paper and Twine Color Palette
Warm kraft browns and oatmeal papers with sealing-wax red, three shades of clipped spruce ribbon, and a cool slate blue for shadow under the scissors. Good for gift tag sets, hand lettering on brown paper, and quiet Christmas illustrations that skip the bright red-and-green. The pale creams make easy backgrounds for stamped or stitched details.
