Two Extremes....Vintage & ModernBy Di Garling

Hello everyone. Thanks for calling by the blog.

Today I have three layouts to show you with lots of yummy

Green Tara goodies.

Firstly I have this vintage layout to share, called

"Those were the Days".

For the top flower cluster I have used one of the new 

Satin Rosettes in a beautiful sage colour & it has a pearl centre. 

I have teamed it with a small Ivory rose.

I love this sage colour, it is so elegant.

For my bottom cluster I have used another one of our NEW flowers,

this one is called a  Primula. It is a black/grey with a hint of green.

Just a perfect vintage colour.

I have used four different beautiful Green Tara trims here,
 all in Ivory. I have actually woven them in the corner but when
I put my flower cluster on I covered the weaving up!!!
That wasn't very bright was it?

I've used lace, a gorgeous satin Bud N Bow trim &
the middle one on the  left is actually a self adhesive one.
 Too easy. Also I just love this little twisted pearl one.

We really are so spoilt for choice here at Green Tara.

I have listed all the names of all of these products at the 

bottom of my post. Scroll down to see them.

All of these beautiful chipboard pieces I have used are from

2 Crafty chipboard of course.

For my next layout I have stepped waaaay way outside of my 

comfort zone & done a modern/minimilist layout called

"The Magic of You"

Now for those of you that are  familiar with my work, 

you will know what I mean, I never do minimilist so I 

have stepped up to the plate on this one.

Firstly I have used that new Green Tara Wired Cord that I used 

a couple of months ago, that I made the wreath with. I have just 

twisted & curled it around an awl until I was happy with the shape.

 It kind of reminds me of 3D doodling!!!

I'm really happy with how this cord turned out, 

just something a little different.

I have also added Silver Stems in peacock blue which I have

broken up into several pieces & scattered here & there.
Next I added some purple Skeleton Leaves to highlight the wings.

Here I have used another one of the many Green Tara ribbons,

this beautiful Shimmer Threaded Ribbon in a midnight blue.

This is the most gorgeous ribbon. I love love love it.

Midnight blue teamed with purple, a match made in heaven.

I have also used some of our beautiful new fabric flowers,

the Primula & Heirloom flowers, both in purple

& a few little roses thrown in for good measure.

In my top flower cluster I have used another piece of my
Twisted Cord as well as a Sakura flower & another
of our new flowers,the purple one is called a
 Lollipop flower.

In this photo you can see a close up of one of our sweet little 

Rainforest Butterflies in Lavender with a few 

roses which I misted to get the correct colour

 & finally some mini flowers scattered around.

"Dream"

This was a layout I did months ago, some of you may have seen it way 

back then, but I am in the habbit lately of changing things!!!

When Green Tara got their latest release of NEW flowers,

as soom as I saw these little Primulas in this lovely soft

green, I took off the ones I previously had on there & popped

these ones on instead. They really look much better!!!

Well I think they do.
 

I have also used some gorgeous lime Bud N Bow trim as well as one 

of the many Green Tara laces.

This beautiful pink flower is one called Heirloom, these comes in

lots of gorgeous colours. I have also used lots of Roses as well as

 some little Rosebuds tucked in here & there.

In the tear of the paper I have also use a Flower Spray in white

& I misted it in green to match my layout. I have also curled 

all of its stems to make it more realistic.

On some of the  Roses I have give them a coat of "Diamond Dust"

just to glam them up a little.

Again all of my chipboard is from 2 Crafty Chipboard.

Lots of stencilling & misting on my background to create

a backdrop as well as lots of distressing to finish off with.

Well thats all from me today. I hope I have inspired you a

little, to use some fabulous Green Tara flowers & trims on

your next project.
