It can really turn out dramatic. Solid color background of burgundy is elegant - especially with a fleur de lis design. I think the gray color as the highlight might turn out to be pink or purple looking. This may not be what you want. For an elegant look - think of using a metallic glaze instead (bronze - copper - gold) To just hit the raised areas and not bleed onto the other areas of the wallpaper with a sponge roller (or even an ink roller) is nearly impossible. This is what I would do: Glaze the entire area (a portion at a time) and wipe off the high spots. This should result in a soft effect as the background and keeping the flue de lis areas as the focus. Good luck - and try to have fun! Debra Textured wallpaper is fun to paint! It can really turn out dramatic.

This is in a small bathroom, the wall space is very small. The solid color is a shade of burgandy the raised design is a fluer de lis. Wife wants to high the raised design with a second color touching the primary color. The second color is in the gray family but not dark. I have tried a sponge roller & even a hard rubber ink roller. Do you have any ideas? I am at the end of the rope. We have put textured wallpaper on the wall & it is paintable as well. This is in a small bathroom, the wall space is very small.
