home decor/ SSD question

I know you girls could help me out if anyone could!
I have a boring bookshelf in my living room, that SOMETHING needs to be done with. Can't afford something new, and very little goes on it so I thought I might as well spruce it up myself. It's stained dark brown, but the backs of the shelves are particle board (EEW!). I went to look at wall paper last night, but I didn't see anything I *loved* and I don't really want to drop $45 on this project. So I'm going to paint the back deep red, I think, and now I'm looking for some kind of design to paint onto the red in maybe a black. (I may also go black and white or brown and cream... undecided).

So the SSD question is this - are there any doodles/flourishes/flower stamps in the shop that might work for this? I'm thinking more clean lines and classical flourishes or grasses/leaves/vines rather than like a hand-drawn flower doodle.

I would project the image on the bookshelf and draw it out (it would be about 4 feet tall) onto the back before painting it in with black or cream paint.

Thanks girls for any ideas you have to offer!!
 
I did this on my kitchen wall only I projected flowers that matched my plates/cups... it came out great. I have no doodle suggestions but wanted to say good luck!
 
Oh, maybe you could get lauren to work with you to custom make you some swirls and then she'd sell them to the rest of us to make cool stuff, too!
