Flocked Wallpaper

My hearts a flutter.

Why you ask.

Take a look.........vintage flocked wallpaper. Need I say more? These gorgeous velvety beauties were purchased from Donna Layton at Under the Red Roof.


Beautiful blue, glamorous black, and creamy yellow are my momentary favorites.

I have also found some reproduction flocked papers.

What do I create with these gorgeous papers?
A sea of journals and photo albums for an upcoming show,

soft pink keepsake boxes embellished with German scrap and vintage jewels,


a pink and taupe keepsake box,

picture frames,

and a pink and blue journal.

    Your pieces are great! I think it's so admirable that you actually used your vintage wallpaper! I'm always tending to 'sit' on it, save it for that special occasion and then forget about it!

    Ele, what beautiful things you have made with the flocked paper. I found a rolled up bundle of old wallpaper at moms, but haven't gone through them yet. I love the pink and blue journal--well I love them all. Hugs, Pat
