Positive Thoughts and custom striped paper

Today I looked through the new catalog to verify that we were carrying over the "Positive Thoughts" stamp set and was so happy to see that it is true... And noticed the very pretty card and thought well let me look at the poppies DSP for the green striped paper... but then saw that it was not DSP but hand painted! Of course I had to try my hand at that... here is my card:

And here is the original from the catalog, which I totally CASE'd with minor changes...

I really liked making my own striped paper using the Watercolor paper, old olive ink and Aqua Painter... and think I may just do that more often!
