Layouts and tags by Marie-Josée Hamel

Hello, Green Tara fans! I hope you are doing good and that you had a nice Valentine's Day. Today, I have three projects to share with you: two layouts and one set of tags.

"Amour"

For this layout, I went for a really clean and simple look to ensure that the focus will remain on the picture. I cut a huge heart out of a patterned paper and misted it to give it a more solid color.

 

 Then, I created two tiny clusters of miniature Green Tara flowers to frame my picture. I love the Mini Roses and the Mini Rosebuds: they are my favorites! I also used another favorite of mine, the Skeleton Leaves, in Natural. They are perfect on every layout.

 

Green Tara products used:

1.5 cm Roses in Ivory

1.5 cm Roses in Turquoise

1 cm Roses in Ivory

1 cm Mini Rosebuds in Red

1 cm Mini Rosebuds in Turquoise

4.5 cm Maple Leaves in Green

Mixed media tags

 Since January, I have created many set of tags, and managed to include a few on my layouts. Here's the latest set I created for the Green Tara blog. 

 

To create the set, I used big blooms, namely Wild Rose and Pincushion flowers.

I put a bow under each flower. The orange bow is a satin ribbon, and the other two are jute ribbons.

 

I also added my beloved skeleton leaves to the orange tag, paper leaves on the yellow one, and velvet leaves on the green one.

"You and Me "

 I created this layout for this month's sketch on the Once Upon a Sketch blog:

 

 I really enjoyed creating this huge flower cluster. I particularly like to combine bigger flowers, like the Heirloom flowers, with tiny ones, like the roses and the mini rosebuds.

 

 I also used various types of leaves, such as skeleton leaves, maple leaves and regular paper leaves.
