My Green Tara DT Post"The Magic of You" & "Special"

"The Magic of You"

Hi everyone - this is my first page for the new Design Team
over at Green Tara. It is so great to be back for another term.

I love this beautiful polka dot organza ribbon
and the purple velvet rose so much
 I just had to create a page using them.

 

The ribbon is so easy to work with and makes great bows.
 I've also added some roses, rosebuds and a gardenia.
I think these velvet leaves finish off any cluster perfectly.
 I use them all the time.

The new rainforest butterflies are so delicate and pretty.
 I've also cut separate hearts from the silver diamonte trim.

 

These new trims are so pretty - they sparkle quite a lot
and add a bit of "bling" to your pages.

I've also used quite a bit of 2 Crafty chipboard on this page -
I also added some to the background.
I have also used some Green Tara lace which I've used in my
 flower cluster and  also tucked in around the edge of the page.

"Special"

Once again the Green Tara polka dot organza ribbon inspired me -
 it comes in so many different colours and matches
all the Green Tara flowers.

One of my favourite trims is the lime green  Bud n Bow ribbon.
It is so soft and pretty.
 I've also used a little bit of Green Tara Lace for added interest.

Gardenias and roses look so good together.

 

Just look how beautifully the Green Tara
 ribbon and the flowers compliment each other.

I hope I've inspired you just a little bit.

Remember to visit Green Tara at either
their BLOG or on FACEBOOK.

Hi everyone - this is my entry for the September Challenge over at White With 1.

I had a lot of fun playing when I did the background - lots of Gesso, Impasto and Glimmermist.

Also some fabulous chipboard.

Green Tara flowers are always an asset to any page - I just love using them on my layouts.

Just a coupe more Green Tara roses and a cute little butterfly to finish off.

"Wrap up for "Winter"

Hi everyone - this my entry for the August Challenge over at "Once Upon a Sketch".  The theme was "Seasons" and I just had to scrap this gorgeous photo.

I spread lots of Gesso around to make things wintery and cold and I just love this

beautiful weatherbeaten paper.

Of course there had to be snowflakes and this fabulous "Memory Box" die fits the bill perfectly.

I had a lot of fun treating this 2 Crafty chipboard fence and I think I managed to make it look quite realistic.  

The flower is a Green Tara "Heirloom" fabric flower.
Di's Scrapbook Shop at The Entrance NSW has a great range of Green Tara flowers and 2 Crafty chipboard.
