The Blush pink and green damask printables from Frog Prince Paperie are absolutely gorgeous just as they are.
Print them out, and you have a party right there. But can I leave already gorgeous alone? Clearly not, when I have a glue gun and random craft materials sitting around the house! (There's a fine line between having a well-stocked craft cabinet and being on Hoarders, and I'm dancing that line quite nicely, thank you!)
Frog Prince Paperie's lovely medallions made gorgeous decorations for the drinks and tables.
But I had these leftover cheap silk roses from a previous project, and got inspired!
I took apart the silk rose, and used a low temperature glue gun (so I don't burn myself with my klutzy fingers) and simply layered the petals on the back of the medallion.
Ta-da! An insanely easy, but utterly precious party decoration, perfect for this oh-so-feminine affair.
I also had some smaller silk floewrs left over from the same project. I didn't want to cover up much of the gorgeous printed medallion, so I cut a larger, rough circle and glued it to the back of the printed circle. I then glued the small roses around the circumference of the sign.
So little time, for such pretty, customized payoff!
I still have boatloads of pink lace that I bought on super-sale and used at the Neapolitan April Fool's Day party and the Butterfly Birthday, so I decided to fancify the cupcake wrappers as well.
I love adding layers and textures. And my own personal spin on things. I get the basics of great design from the printables, and then add a little bit of my own flare. It's just as satisfying as making something entirely myself, but is sooo much easier!
