Wallpaper Card

I made this card today for the House of Cards photo inspirations challenge: 

use the colors and / or texture on your card.
You have until January 31st to share your card with us.

I was unable to get my design team card done in time

for the original posting of the challenge since all of my 

craft supplies were packed up in a box truck,

safe out of harms way due to potential flooding of my house.

I am finally getting nearly everything back in its proper place.

How I made my card:

In packing up then unpacking all of my crafty stuff recently,

I came across an old wallpaper sample book.

I knew I had it, just have never used it.

Since my craft dungeon was still in disarray,

all of my card making things not all easily accessible,

 I decided to make a card with some wallpaper !

I trimmed along the scalloped edge of the border piece

(the printing was off, there was a white border).

I also cut off the opposite edge that sort of looks like ribbon

and reattached it on top of the printed "cord" design.

This made the border piece narrower to fit a card front.

I added some dark brown textured card stock, 

carefully torn to follow the scallops.

Inside the card along the exposed edge I glued in coordinating

marbled wallpaper and another piece of the trimmed off  "ribbon" edge.

The wallpaper has lots of pretty texture and shimmer.

This is a nice, flat mail friendly card.
