Vintage Fabulous

This month's Punky Sprouts partner in fun was Crafter's Workshop. Crafter's Workshop has loads of fun templates in various sizes used to bring out the creative genius inside of you. With three 6x6 templates, a Rebel Sprout album and loads of new Punky Embellishments I was ready to let loose some creative genius. I'm not sure if genius was achieved, but creativity was anyway. I loved the new Lil' Blooms - Metal make homemade flowers super quick and easier than ever to make. Of course my very favorite Punky goods are the Lil' Lacey Blossoms and Lil' Blossoms - Parchment since they feed into my complete love for all things shabby chic.

Use templates and Lil' Stems to create your own custom ribbons. Here I used Crafter's Workshop 6x6 Houndstooth template and Punky Sprouts Lil' Stems.

Try layering a couple of templates for added texture and depth. Lay the first template down, mist and let dry. Repeat with a second template and a new mist color. To keep  your canvas flat after misting, allow to dry for a minute or two then sandwich between two clean paper towels. Iron the canvas on the cotton setting with no steam for a few seconds. This will dry the mist and flatten the canvas.

Try layering Blossoms and Petals for layering loveliness. Cut the small Lil' Lacey Blossoms into 8 wedges and layer on the Lil' Petals - Cork.
