Stepping Outside My Comfort ZoneBy Di Garling

"YOU"

Hello everyone, thanks for stopping by the blog today.
I have three layouts to share with you, the first two I have
stepped way way outside of my comfort zone, & I have
to say that I am rather pleased with the results.
As most of you that know my work will know, my style
is rather "shabby chic" so I set myself the challenge to
do modern with a touch of minimilist. I have done those lovely
watery backgrounds that my fellow DT member Kim Price
is so famous for & I have based this first layout on the current
sketch from "Once Upon A Sketch".

Naturally I have used lots of gorgeous Green Tara goodies

including this fab black & white  "Herringbone Ribbon". I

really think this ribbon makes such a statement.

I have also used one of the new Green Tara "Azelea" flowers as well

as some of their "Roses" & "Rosebuds". I have simply misted

them in the same colours as I did the background & just applied

more to increase the density of the colour.

Next up I  used some of the NEW black "Burlap" ribbon too.

This is available in various colours. I just love this stuff,

especially the natural shades which no doubt you will see the

girls all using over the coming weeks.

In this pic you can see I have also used some of the Green Tara

black "Suede Cord" too.

The perfect piece of whimsy when combined with some roses.

All of my chipboard here, including the title, arrows, cogs & 

mini filmstrips, are from 2 Crafty chipboard.

'FOREVER"

This would definitely be the most minimilist layout I have ever done !!!
I have used the Green Tara "Cobweb Mesh" tucked in underneath
 the photo & again at the top in the small cluster.
I think on the plain background, this mesh really packs a punch.
It is available in lots of great colours too.

I have also used some of these beautiful black Green Tara
"Silk Flowers with Swarovski Crystal Centres"
teamed with some of their  black & yellow "Roses" &
I finished off with some of their black "Skeleton Leaves".
Simple & stylish.
