For today's Ways to use it Challenge WT686 -
I have loads & loads of patterned papers, but I also have loads of vintage wallpaper rolls that I have collected over the years. I love the textures and variety you can get from these and tend to find the most fabulous patterns in rolls at goodwills & thrift shops. They are so perfect for papercrafting - just simply use a strong spray adhesive (from home depot) and spray behind wallpaper pieces then adhere to any plain cardstock for added weight. You will have rolls and rolls of fabulous unusual patterned paper designs that you won't feel bad about cutting through or using. (like we do with our pricey lovely papers that we otherwise tend to not use.) LOL. - just sayin'
Paper: Patterned Vintage Travel Wallappaer, Cream CS, Textured Navy CS, Gold Wrapping Ppaer (adhered to White CS for weight)
Paper Size: Circular 4.5 inches
Ink: Versamark (for heat embossing card base edges with gold Glitter EP)
Accessories: Gold Ribbon, Gold Glitter Embossing Powder, Embossing Folder (for moon texture), & cutting dies by Sue Wilson; Perspectives Triple Best Wishes Dies, Circle Scenes Collection City Skyline Dies.

How creative to use wallpaper roll! I have a couple of discontinued wallpaper books that I collected years ago. I unearthed one when I was organizing my paper a while ago. Your card is beautiful and rich looking!

I feel like I've gone down the gold brick road to your city of gold! Very fun! I used to use wall paper for a lot of crafts. Haven't though of doing it though for a while. Thanks for the reminder.
