I chose the 2009 Bitty Dot Basics patterned paper in Soft Stone for my base cardstock to stamp on. The white dots resemble little flocked dots, so it's a great way to start out.
I then inked up my first large image with Chartreuse ink and stamped it all over my patterned paper.
Next up, I inked a smaller image with Aqua Mist ink, filling in blank spots.
I chose another yet smaller image and stamped those with more Chartreuse ink.
To finish off my faux wallpaper look, I stamped some small outline images with Dark Chocolate ink. The colors and patterns look very much like vintage wallpaper.
A neat accent I like to make is adding strips of patterned paper to Saddle Stitched ribbon. It's like customized ribbon you make by yourself.
Here's a shot of that flocked looking wallpaper. I got a good shot of it in the sun shining in through my Artsy Studio. So dimensional and you just resist touching it.
For my finished projects, I made some pretty cards. By cutting the 8" x 8" piece of stamped paper into 4" squares, I was able to make four completed cards using the design below.
The sentiments in Spiral Bouquet are quite beautiful too. I stamped them in Dark Chocolate and added Vintage Buttons tied with Brown and White Twine.
I hope you enjoy! You should really try the vintage looking flocked paper. So fun!

Now comes the flocking part. Using Martha Stewart flock from Michael's and a glue pen, I added flocking to the Aqua Mist images. The texture is amazing and in person it's even better!
I let my patterned paper dry for a little bit and switched gears to select some supplies for some cards.

Mish, I just bought that paper pack from PTI. Thanks for the designing ideas and how to cut and use the 8 by 8 papers. Always appreciate your ideas.
So lovely! Love the color combo and the sweet background paper you made...the flock is an extra bonus! I'm typically scared of it, and only use white on a lambie here and there, but now you've got me feeling brave again! Thanks so much for the inspiration, as always!
Terrific idea, Mish and the cards look stunning.
