 also! have a 2 toned blue Cherry blossom, a wedgewood blue Camellia, a Champagne 6.5cm Heirloom & a couple of 1.5cm white roses which I've sprayed them with some green mist...

Hello everyone!!  Happy new year to you all!!

Shinobu here today to share three layouts

On this layout, I have used bright yellow, green, and brown.

Mustard Damask, Yellow Heirloom,

 Green Velvet Leaves, and Calla Lillies White were just perfect  for it,

and  I love this Polka Dot ribbon so much!!

Here are White Gardenia and 38mm Mesh Coffee.

Mixed Media January with Jelissa

Hello crafty friends, thank you for calling by the blog today.
 How has your 2014 been so far?
I have three mixed media projects to share with you, featuring
 some awesome Green Tara products.

"Dreams Canvas"



I borrowed a quote from Eleanor Roosevelt and what better to accompany a
 beautiful quote than some pretty Green Tara flowers?



Here are the amazing Heirlooms, cherry and apple blossoms,
 and of course my favourite mini-roses.



This is another cluster with the Tutu organza flowers,
and apple and cherry blossoms.



I topped off the mini-rose with a satin bow in dusky pink.

Green Tara products used:

  Tutu 5cm Organza and Pearl Flowers Ivory 
 Heirloom 4cm Silk and Organza  Green
 Heirloom 6.5cm Silk and Organza Flowers White 
 Red Apple Blossoms
White Apple Blossoms
Aubergine/White Apple Blossoms
Cherry Blossoms Cream
Cherry Blossoms Red/White
1 cm Roses Ivory
1.5cm Roses Orange


The second layout I have to share with you is part of my DT work for
 Once Upon a Sketch's January challenge. The theme is "Lesson Learnt"
 and what I've learned for 2013 is learning to let go.

"Letting Go"



I love how well the colors of the velvet rose matched the color palette I have chosen.

Some close ups:



What I did was to tear the velvet rose apart and use only the top two layers.
 For the cherry blossoms, I misted the edges and I also chalked the
 edges of the mini roses.



I did a bow with the polka dot organza ribbon and layered an
apple blossom and a mini-rose over it.

Green Tara products used:

38mm Polka Dot Organza Roll Pale Pink
Aubergine/White Apple Blossoms
Cherry Blossoms Cream
1 cm Roses Ivory
1 cm Roses Pale Pink


Now I've saved the best for last!

"Happy"

I've put together a start-to-finish mixed media tutorial just for you!

 It's my first of such a video and I'm so glad to be doing it with Green Tara.

 But before that, some close-ups:

What a gorgeous floral clusters the wild rose and cherry and apple blossoms make! 

Green Tara products used:

Blue Apple Blossoms
