My First Projects for Green Tara By Pascale B.

Hi everyone, I'm so happy to be there. 

It is not easy for me to write in english and I hope you will be indulgent with me. 

So as I'm french, I will try to let you discover some of the beautiful monuments 

we have here in France.

"Eiffel Tower"

And the very first will be the Eiffel Tower that I'm pretty sure everyone knows.

I've taken this photo in October, it was really a foggy day. 

It looks like the Eiffel Tower was still under construction, 

so I decided to design an old style layout.

The floral clusters on both sides of the photo include the beautiful "Heirloom" flower, 

some pretty "Cherry Blossom" and a "floral spray" that I cut up. 

In my flower cluster I have added some "Natural Jute Ribbon" that I cut to look like "leaves".

"ADVENT CALENDAR"

My second project is an Advent Calender, 

in fact there are two of them, made with matches boxes.

Here is the first one made with small boxes in blue & green colors.

The cluster at the top of the Calendar includes the beautiful "Heirloom" in black, 

as well as some cute green "roses". 

I colored the tip of the "Cherry Blossom" petals with some Distress Ink to match
 the color of the background I've made with Distress Paint and Stain.

I have bent the Flower spray, so it goes down the front of  the calender.

The small butterflies are cut into the gorgeous "Butterfly on Wire" ribbon. 

And finally I have altered the "silver leaf garland" with black paint.

And the second Advent Calender made with big matches boxes in orange & blue colors. 

I decorated the calender with a beautiful blue "Damask flower", a small 
"Heirloom",  a couple of "Calla Lillies" and a "flower spray" that I cut up.

 I used some "Fairy Mesh" to make the bow.

And my last project :

" JOURNEY " 

In the background, among a lot of stamping and inking with ink and coffee,
I use a lot of masking tape: Locks and Keys & Favourites Things.

On this layout, you will find the beautiful "Red Heirloom 4 cm"
and the "Red/White Cherry Blossom" ...

As well as the "Heirloom size 6 cm" in red too and some "Ivory Apple Blossom".

My Very First Reveal!By Ulrika Blomfelt

I´m so happy and very honored to show you my very first work as a designer here
 with Green Tara! I´m so totally in love with all the pretty supplies and my work just
 flowed. A great feeling! My first page has a lot of flowers! Just as I often want it to be.
My boy is a really Cookie Monster and I wanted to create a fun page about it.
 I love to mix colors in fun ways and here I used lilac and green.

Lots and lots of gorgeous flowers clustered together! Here can you find 
 "Roses", "Heirloom", "Primula" and "Tutu" flowers. 

As the crowning of my work I wanted a big and fun bow. I have a soft spot
for all that has polkadots on. And this cute "Organza Ribbon" in purple
was just perfect for the job!

It´s soon time to decorate our homes with all that traditional Christmas stuff.
 I have four Santas or "Tomtar" as we say in Sweden. This cute guys with
 large beard I take out ever year. No Christmas without them.

For my layout I used only red and white flowers and decorations.
All to get the right Christmas feeling.

I wanted a big bow for focal point on my page. I used the cute striped ribbon called
"Herringbone". Behind the bow I made a cluster of  
"Heirloom" and "Cherry Blossoms".

This page was created for Once Upon A Sketch Challenge November.
The journaling theme was "My Happy" place. I got inspired by the colors
 on the pretty flowers from Green Tara! The soft warm brown and the
beautiful turquoise. In my own blog I have a step by step how
 I created the background.

Behind my photo and my title I layered 
 "Natural Jute Ribbon" and brown "Mesh Ribbon".

For my cluster I used the beautiful  "Lace & Pearl Flower" and "Primula".
 Behind them I cut one of the pretty "Flower Sprays" in two pieces.

My First Post with Green Tara..By Shinobu Hiramatsu

Hello everyone!!  It's Shinobu with you today.

This is my first post with Green Tara. I'm so excited and happy!!

I'd like to share three layouts. I hope you like them.

Here is the first one...

" Love Love Love "  

 On this layout I've used a lavender  "Velvet Rose", an  ivory "Wild Rose",

Aubergine/White "Apple Blossom", yellow and white "Roses",
"Velvet Leaves", as well as some  turquoise 
 "Double Sided Vertical Stripe Satin Ribbon".

This Satin ribbon inspired my layout.
.

  I love this ivory "Organza Satin Hearts" ribbon too,

 not to mention these gold "Flower Sprays".

 I added a "Metal Embellishments Corner" as well as 

this beautiful "Off White Lace" and  some "Mesh White".

 The title of this layout was made by some  chipboard and this
Green Tara "Washi Tape- LOVE".

I have also tucked in a sage "Tutu" flower,
 and a white "Apple Blossom".

I also added some "Natural Jute Ribbon", my favorite yellow
"Heirloom" flowers, brown " Primula", mini"Roses",
and some "Velvet Leaves".

" Peek a Boo!! "

 I wanted to make very cute layout,
so I chose peach pink Green Tara goodies.

Peach "Heirloom" flowers, white"Apple Blossoms",

white 1cm"Rose"and "Mini Rosebud".

I used peach "Heirloom"here too, this is 4cm.

Splashes of Color with Jelissa....

Good day everyone!

It's my turn to debut on the Green Tara blog and I've got
three colorful creations to share with you.

First is a romantic shabby layout of my husband and I before we had kids:
  
"LOVE"

I'm a big fan of layering so not only have I done it for the patterned paper, I've also
layered the "Pale Blue Mesh" and "Rose Mesh" and lace
 ribbon as well. The " Flower Lace" started out white but I've misted it to
 match the color scheme of the layout. Behind the photo, I've also tucked in a piece
 of "Pale Pink Flower-edged Organza" just to sweeten things a little.

I've chosen to create just one floral cluster with the "Dusky Pink Heirloom "
as the focal point. Accompanying it are the soft "Pale Green Primula",
some "White Cherry Blossoms" which I have misted blue and pink, as well
as a "Dusky Pink Lace Pearl Flower". Tucked underneath the blooms is the
 "Red Flower Sprays" which I have cut up into a few pieces. These flower
sprays are both delicate and versatile at the same time! But that's not all -
I still have a cascade made up of  "Pink Bud and Bow Ribbon" and
 " Off White Lace Ribbon", which I colored again with blue.
 Gotta love these lace ribbons that I can alter to suit my piece! Finally, draped
over the Heirloom is a "Pale Pink 3mm Pearl Trim". 

Just for extra pop, I've brushed some gesso over the "Metal Heart" 
 and added a little "Pink Rainforest Velvet and Organza 3cm Butterfly".

My second layout is a playful one:

"SMILE"

Green Tara flowers, ribbons and laces come in so many different colors
and styles that it was such a fun and easy time putting them together for this layout.
Even if you can't get the exact color, they are also available in white and below
are some techniques which I used to alter the flowers.

First, I want to show how I did layering with the
"Sage and Latte Double-sided Vertical Stripe Satin" ribbons and
 "Gold Mesh" cut as banners, and a "Off-white Lace Ribbon"
  tucked under the photo. 

The "White Apple Blossom" and "White Rose" were just perfect

 for altering with distress stains and letting the color run with spritz of water. 

The absolutely beautiful "6.5cm Heirloom Champagne  Flower"
  grouped with a "White Rose" and another "White Apple Blossom".
Both were colored with distress stains and glimmer mist. I also tucked in a small
 piece cut out from the "Flower Sprays Gold".

The "7cm Wild Rose" is such an
eye-catching piece that I just had to use it. I clustered it with
"Two Toned Blue Cherry Blossoms",
 "White Apple Blossom" 
 which are distressed with stains.
I didn't have the right shade, so I took a  
"4.5cm Primula White Flower"
  and treated it by rubbing on some distress paint, misted with
 Dylusion spray and some water to create a striking teal.

My last share is an altered lamp shade which I bought on a whim:

 

"LAMP SHADE"

 

The Green Tara lace ribbons and flowers are just perfect for creating a beautiful piece.

The main bouquet is made up of the irresistible
 " Damask Flower" and the new
 "Velvet Rose Mint", surrounded by delightful (and colorful!)
"Assorted Azaleas", "Lace Pearl Flower",
 and a "Tutu Flower".

Tucking in some "Cerise Calla Lilies" with "Flower Sprays Gold",
 and topping off the lampshade with a lace trim.

The " Azaleas" and "Aubergine/White Apple Blossoms" 

 are just right to complete the bouquet. I also went around the bottom of the 

lamp shade with a lovely "Green/Gold Mesh" and the

 "White Lace" for a touch of elegance.
