A Touch of BLINGA Hanging Bird Cage & More....By Di Garling

"Magical Memories"

Hello everyone. It 's my turn up on the blog & I have 

 three different  projects to share with you.

This first layout I actually made about a year ago, but I was 

never really happy with it. Soooo, I pulled everything off it

except for the chippie frame & totally re did it & now

I am finally, really happy with it.

  I have gone TOTALLY OVER THE TOP 

with glitz, glam & bling!!!

It is nice to go crazy once in a while with such "girly" things, 

& I thought a wedding page deserved something a little special.

This fab pic is of a friends daughter & her bridesmaids.

Well as always I have done lots of layering, distressing & stamping

but I have use a couple of gorgeous Green Tara blings.

First up I used one of their 

 Acrylic/Diamante Flower & Bud  Sprays.

These are just sooo glam, love them.

The other piece of Bling I used was another fab piece from 

Green Tara called, a Crystal Teardrop Spray.

When I use these I always break them into about six little individual

Crystal Sprays & just tuck them in here & there amongst 

my flower clusters. These come in several pastel colours.

I have used a clear one here.

I have also used lots & lots of the Green Tara Roses in

 three different sizes & three different colours.

 These Roses come in so many different colours 

& different sizes too. I just love these, can't get enough of them.

In the photo above you can see a beautiful

Green Tara Lace tucked in underneath the photo.

They have so many laces, we really are spoilt for choice.

All of my pink & aqua Roses I have added a little gold paint to

the petals to add to my touch of glamour.

I have also used lots of Green Tara Daisies as well as some of

their  Flower Sprays.

 (which is actually a wired spray of daisies)

I painted all of the Daisy centres in gold too, 

to keep in with the whole glam theme.

I have also tucked  some sweet little 

Green Tara Velvet Leaves in

here & there. These little Velvet Leaves are great because they

 are actually wired , so you can bend & push them however 

you like & they stay put.

All of this beautiful chipboard on these layouts, including this big

Flowery Swirl Frame & both my words are from 

2 Crafty Chipboard.

I used a Medium on it to create this lovely texture &

then applied lots of metallic paints.

 I hope this layout inspires you to lash out & do something over

the top girly & blingy too.

"Hanging Bird Cage"

For my second project this month I thought I would do something

a little different. Now I have to admit I don't do a lot of

 "Beyong the Page" but when I saw this gorgeous "shabby"

Hanging Bird Cage, I just couldn't wait to get started.

I thought it would make a lovely present for someone special.

This project, I have to admit, was really soooooo easy.

I just got out all my white Green Tara flowers & started. 

I wanted to keep it all in whites with just a "kiss of green".

Ooops, before I forget, A friend of mines hubby,
Kent Nguyen,

 photographed this for me. 

I am not the best at photographing things like this,

& he is such a great local photographer.

Thanks Kent xo

I have used one of the gorgeous Green Tara ribbons, a

 "Satin Edged Organza" 

& I have also used some of their green "Velvet Leaves".

Apart from those two things, I kept everything else white.

The large white flower you see on the left is the "Damask"

& the two bigger ones in the photo on the right are

"Gardenia" on top & "Sakura" underneath.

All of the others are listed below.

"Our Sweet Girl"

For my last layout this month, I thought I would show you this

 one I did a couple of weeks ago for a challenge.

Some of you have probably already seen it.

I really loved it because as well as lots of yummy

Green Tara flowers, I have also used one of their 

NEW ribbons. It is a 38mm wide

"Polka Dot Organza" Ribbon.

I think this ribbon is fabulous & even though it is 38mm wide, 

because it is a fine organza, it doesn't make your

layout bulky at all.

Just a little close up of some of the flowers.

The biggest one is called "Tutu". It has a little pearl in the middle &

 it comes in some really beautiful colours as well.

Also used more Roses, Cherry Blossoms, Velvet Leaves & then added
a Silk Flower with a Swarovski Crystal in the middle.
All from Green Tara naturally.

Well thats all from me today.
I'll see you back here on the blog next month.
