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.
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.
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.
