I’m a scrap saver and so glad that I am!! I cut an image while working on another project using the Jubilee Paper Packet*, and I ended up not using it on that project but threw it back in the bag. I grabbed it for this project and used it to distress the Crystal Blue Cardstock. I used a tool from the distress kit {retired}, but a Round Sponge will work just as well.
