*Note: Scroll shapes are found in the Elements package of Grungeboard. Flower petals can be cut from excess Grungeboard or larger shapes in the pack.

 

DIRECTIONS:

1. Ink the grungeboard scroll with Peeled Paint, using the blending tool or sponge. When dry, add some dots with the glaze pen.
2. Stamp 2 small flowers on the plain grungeboard sheet, using black ink. Cut out, then overstamp with the text stamp on both the front and the back of the flowers, using black ink. Color with the distress ink of your choice, using the blending tool or sponge. I used Broken China for the sample.
3. For the large flower, draw 4 large, 4 medium and 4 small petals onto a plain grungeboard sheet. They do not need to be perfect. Cut them out, then stamp on the front and back of each petal.
4. Stamp the flower center on the grungeboard, cut out, stamp the front and the back with the a different stamp, then color with distress ink. Color the fabric brad with the same distress ink, if you want a coordinated look.
5. To assemble the large flower, glue the 4 largest petals to the chipboard circle. Add the 4 medium petals in the open spaces, then add the 4 small petals as shown.
6. Poke a hole in the flower center and insert the fabric brad, then glue the center in place. Insert the black brads into the smaller flowers. Let the large flower dry so that the flower is sturdy and easier to work with.
7. Roll each petal to create dimension. It's magic! It actually stays in place. Curl the petals of the smaller flowers too. Just keep rolling until you get the desired effect.
8. Arrange the flowers and scroll on the purse in a pleasing manner.
9. Glue the scroll, then the flowers in place. It helps to hold them in place a bit to allow the glue some time to set.

Grungeboard can also be stitched, so you can sew your flower to your bag or add embellishments with embroidery floss and yarns or machine stitching.

1. With 2 squares of Textiva between sheets of parchment paper, fuse together just the outer 1/4" along three sides to create a "seam allowance" to form a pocket.

 

2. Stitch the pocket to your background fabric or quilt along the three fused sides. Slide something into the pocket, like a shape cut from cardstock or a flat found object.
