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.

America what a terrific idea to getting fantastic papers that are not so pricy. I have 2 rolls of wall paper that I use occasionally on my cards that I saved from my old house when we moved. Your papers are so stunning on this card. Thank you so much for playing along and sharing some of your hoarded DPs.

I have wallpaper that I have saved but haven’t used...so sad. Your card is gorgeous with the gold accenting the dark blue! Might have to get out my wallpaper and use it! Great work, America!

I remember we had sample book of wallpaper that we used to use for projects when we were kids, and I just loved it. It was always fun choosing which one to use. You certainly have beautiful wallpaper to showcase here.

LOL because I have hoarded wall paper samples too and often find it harder to cut into them than some of my dp! That royal blue and gold city scape looks amazing against the deeper navy bg.
