This week's Doubledog Dare challenge was chosen by Anne, Itsapassion on SCS. Anne sent us some really lovely wallpaper samples to work with. You can scout out your local Home Depot, Lowe's or design centers to see if they may have some discontinued sample books that they are ready to part with. They are LOADED with cool designs that make fabulous card and scrapbooking papers. I cut out and layered the purple flower from my sample onto more of the wallpaper piece. Added some old fashioned lace and pearls. The sentiment is from SU's All Holidays. I stamped it first in Mellow Moss, lined up the sentiment with my Stamp-A-Majig and moved it over a tiny bit, stamped in Versamark and then embossed in gold (this is called shadow stamping). Card base is Naturals Ivory with Brushed Gold and Mellow Moss.

This is so neat. My mother-n-law goes and gets old wallpaper sample books and then hands them down to me, I have 12 sitting in my craft room right now. They have come in very handy on several occadions!
