Recently I found a paper stack by Making Memories called English Garden. Now, the last thing I need is more paper! But these sheets are perfect for WOJ Summer Collection. They have a vintage wallpaper look about them. There is even a sheet with strawberries on it! So I did what anyone would do --- grabbed it!
And here is my card with three of the papers, all backed with a bright coral textured cardstock for definition.
Beautiful Willow is framed on a Nestie die cut which is dusted with Tim Holtz Tattered Rose distressing ink. She is colored with Copics: Skin E00 and E11; Hair E33 and E37; Dress RV11; Apron G00 for shading, R27 for strawberries, and YG25 for apples. The flowers are from 5th Avenue Blossoms & Buttons from Making Memories and embelishments from Oriental Trading Company. There is also a WOJ strawberry placed on the card. Do you see it?
Here is Bev's sketch to stretch the creative imagination! Thanks, Bev! I loved it!
The inside of the card is without sentiment for now, but shows off the paper again.
I love this card with the paper combination. It makes me think of some of the wonderful old parlors of my grandmother's friends, all wallpaper and lace!Thank you for stopping by! Be sure to check out the designers' fabulous cards and all the participants, too!

Oh Barb, what a gorgeous card and those papers are beautiful. Your colouring is something else - I can tell you love what you are doing and so do I. I click on the picture to see the colouring up close - it certainly is not something one learns overnight! Wonderful card, my friend.
Another creation that is "made for keeps". I can see why you fell in love those papers, they are gorgeous! You are right, they do look like the vintage wallpapers from my grannies parlor...oh the memories:o) I suppose our grandmothers would have liked one another...they had the same taste in interior design. I also love the strikingly colored image and the pearls.
Oh, as I said earlier...I have something on my blog for you:o) Right back atcha, my friend!!!
Love,
Carolyn
