First Grandbaby Card & LayoutsBy Patti Hamill

I have three projects to share with you, first a Birth Announcement card
and then two layouts. Each one has tons of beautiful Green Tara goodies
 on them! These feature one of my favorite color combos, pink and yellow
with some others mixed in as well. Hope you like them.

"She's Here"

I am so happy to share this post with everyone today!!! We became the

 proud Grandparents of a sweet baby girl June 12th!!! And she is

 precious! I made a super sweet and simple announcement card using

 some pastel colored blooms and trims!

Here you can see the blooms that I used, the pretty yellow Primula, 

white Apple Blossom and tiny pink cherry blossom together.

 I added the Mint/Ivory Bud n Bow trim with some dainty

 20m white lace across the bottom.

I made a pocket/frame for the photo and put a tag with the stats inside,

 I added a little bit of the pink/grey raffia as the trim.

"Adore/Cherish Forever"

I also have two layouts to share with you. These are photos taken

 before the baby was born! This first one was a black and white,

 so I chose colors that would accentuate the pic. I used lighter hues

 to match the colors in the paper that I used. It's a subtle look 

that suits the photo.

Here you see some of the embellishments that I used, the little

cherry blossom was the perfect accent to the cluster of blooms,

 I cut out some hearts from the paper also & added some 

liquid pearls to finish it off.

Here you see the gorgeous Laurel silk and organza bloom,

 the soft yellow was perfect. You also see the Tutu blooms 

and more little cherry blossoms.

I added a pretty black flower spray and 10mm lace ribbon on the edge 

of the photo. I also added a bow made from the

 natural Jute ribbon in ivory.

Just a close up of a few more details where I added their name and date, 

with more little liquid pearl accents.

 I added a pretty little yellow Primula bloom and another cherry blossom!

 The little cherry blossoms are just the perfect size to tuck in anywhere

 you need a little filler!!!

"Cherish"

This is another photo taken before the baby. 

This one was bright and colorful, 

so I chose papers and embellishments to match.

 Lots of pretty pink and green on this one!

I just love the pink and yellow blooms together!!! The pink azalea

 is gorgeous with the little yellow bloom and tiny black roses tucked in!

 I also took some white Petals from the Petal pack and spritzed them 

with some pink spray, cut in half, and tucked them behind.

Here you see the pretty pink Bud n Bow trim layered on the black

 lace ribbon. The chippie frame is from Imaginarium Designs.

Here is a close-up of one of the clusters and you see another

 Petal bloom tucked underneath.

What a mix .... Natalie May

Hello hello from chilly Adelaide

On this super crisp morning, I want to share a few projects with you.

First of all is  

 "Perfect" 

I adore this photo of Jessica

 (even have it as a canvas on our wall at home)

The color in the photo suited these flowers really well 

and it all came together beautifully.

I used some Cream Paper flowers in 10cm, 7cm and 4cm 

and misted them using Luminarte Pigment Powders and then 

stamped over the flower in Archival Black ink with a script stamp 

to add something a little different.

The Satin Rosette was trimmed down a little to suit as was the 

Tutu Flower - just trimmed a little off the edges with my scissors.

Finally I added in my fave little 1cm Roses in the

 clusters to add a little lift.

This next page is a little arty as well but I wanted to use lots

 of lace & ribbon to keep it feeling soft. 

"You are My Everything"

I had to make a couple of slight colour alterations with this 

page which was super easy.

I used some Heidi Swapp Colour Shine in Amethyst - 

as I used in the layout to change the colour of the lace

 and also the roses - perfect match!

The ribbons and laces were great for this page and I used tape 

and the sewing machine to adhere them to the layout.

I also used some Apple Blossoms, 1cm & 1.5cm Roses and the

 gorgeous vine which I also coloured to match.

For my next page, I was completely influenced by the paper and went

 through my flower stash pulling out everything that matched!

 I was blown away by how many amazing BRIGHT colours 

Green Tara really have and then narrowed it down to just a couple 

of highlight flowers that made the paper POP!

 The Heirloom Flowers in Yellow in the 6.5cm and 4cm size

 look great along with some Hot Pink 2cm roses.

And finally is a set of three cards I taught here in Adelaide at

 Seriously Scrapbooking last weekend.

These cards are all part of my monthly Big Shot Class and the

 Green Tara Roses get used in just about every class I teach!

With this last card, I used the White Azalea but didn't feel the yellow Stamen

 suited so I removed it, soaked it in Distress Ink, dried it off and popped

 it back in! Perfect Match!

 Well, thats enough from me for today!

Thanks for stopping by!

More Green Tara GoodnessBy Di Garling

"Our Sweet Girl"

Hello Green Tara fans & welcome to the blog today.

I have three layouts to share with you, starting off with this

little sweetie. I have been dying to scrap these pics which were

given to me by a friend.

I have used lots of gorgeous Green Tara flowers starting off with

a couple of these sweet little "Hibiscus" flowers in shades of lavender.

I have given them a brush over with some pink & purple "Silks" paints

followed up with a little dab or two of "Irredescent Medium" to

add a little shimmer.

I have also tucked some

 "Silver Acrylic Flower Stems"

 in at the side of my cluster.

Next up I have used some black & white

"Silk Flowers with Swarovski Crystal Centres".

These are so beautiful & add a touch of opulence

to any flower cluster.

 I then added a a couple of 

purple "Roses" which also received a brush of

"Irredescent Medium" for some added  shimmer.

I then finished off with a 

"Rain Forest Velvet & Organza Butterfly"

in pink.

All of my chipboard including my

 Title, Hexagons & Tiny Filmstrip

are from 2 Crafty Chipboard.

                                             

 For my second layout...

	"Lifes Good"

On this layout I have used some of the great NEW

"Burlap Trim".

I have tied a bow with it & frayed all the edges & popped it in

my layers underneath the flower. I have also added another piece

underneath my photo.

In this pic you can see on top of the Burlap bow I have used yet

another NEW Green Tara flower. This one is an "Azelea"

& comes in several colours.

I have also tucked in a few "Maple Leaves" in gold.

These leaves are great because they are wired & so you can

 bend them any way you like & they stay put.

A small "Rose" in light brown.

I have added a "Hibiscus" flower in batik henna.

I thought it completed this autumn colour palette perfectly.

Again all of my chipboard is from 2 Crafty Chipboard.

My last layout for this month...

"YOU"

You may have seen this layout on my blog a few months ago,
it was some design team work for 2 Crafty chipboard & I
thought I would show it to you today as it has lots of
beautiful Green Tara goodies on it.

Fabric flowers including "Primula" &  "Sakura"  in
ivory.  A 4cm "Heirloom" flower in dusty pink, a 2cm ivory
"Rose" & a pink "Flower Spray" which I have twisted &
curled to add a touch of realism. I then finished off my cluster
with a bow tied with my favourite Green Tara
natural "Jute Ribbon".

Well that just about wraps it up for another month,
I will see you back here in July.
