"Us", "Love Life" and "Adore" Layouts by Marie-Josée

Hello all! I am very happy to share with you my
first projects as a Green Tara designer.
. My name is Marie-Josée Hamel and I live in Canada.
 I am very excited to be  part of the Green Tara design team
 and I hope you will find my projects inspiring.
 As you will see in today's post, I am a big fan of white
 backgrounds and flower clusters.
You will find them on almost every layout.

Without further ado, here are my first Green Tara projects.

"Us" layout:

 

I really like to create monochromatic layouts with a touch of 

black and white. 

In this case, I did the opposite: I used mostly black and white

 ornaments with just a touch of color, hot pink. 

I love this touch of color, 

because it makes the yellow tones of my picture stand out.

I framed my circle with a black Green Tara "Bud N Bow" ribbon...

 

 I folded another piece of ribbon (the white one) to create a big bow. 

I prefer to fold those big ribbons than to tie them like we usually do, 

because it helps to lay them flat on layouts. I used twine to tie it

 and put a resin butterfly on top to hide the twine.

Green Tara supplies used:

 38mm Mesh White

 Flower Sprays White

Aster Batik Sunset 

Cherry Blossoms Pink

White Gardenia 6 cm 

Maple Leaves Black

Natural Rubber Tree Leaves 

White Paper Leaves

 

"Love Life" layout:

Speaking of monochromatic layouts, here's a fall layout in yellow tones.

I love the big Damask organza flowers. Combined with

 smaller flowers, they create a perfect cluster!

 

 

Green Tara supplies used:
Rain Forest Velvet and Organza Butterfly 3cm Bronze 
Damask 8cm Fabric and Organza Flower Mustard  

Medium Gold Leaves 5cm

Hibiscus Flowers Batik Henna

Light Brown Roses 2cm

Natural Jute Ribbon 15mm

Self Adhesive Trim Gold

Lace, 2cm Off White 

Natural Rubber Tree Leaves 

"Adore" layout:

I submitted this layout for a color challenge on the
 ScrapFriends blog and used a few pink Green Tara flowers on it. 
 Have you noticed that I cut all the green leaves out of the flowers?
 This way, I was able to stay true to the colors of the palette.

 

Green Tara supplies used:
Pale pink roses
Pink daisies

I hope you have enjoyed my projects!
