I love using kraft card in my work and was so pleased to find some good quality and 'real' kraft coloured cards in Michaels last year. So taking the plunge I decided to create my designs straight on the card itself - - - - scary!!!!!
Then using torn paper I masked off areas and stamped through the gaps to get my random stamped sections.
Next came torn strips of tissue/washi tapes........
....... and strips of stitched torn paper or stitched hessian ......
.... then stamped and inked images I found in my left over images
box and watercoloured them with distress inks.
I finished them all with a stamped word and a single embellishment.

Really like what you've done here Brenda - I really should use kraft more as it's got a great aged effect before you even start :-)
