May inspiration with Pascale

Hello Sweeties, 

It's my turn to share with you some layouts I made with Green Tara beauties.

"La Tour de la Lanterne"

The Tour de la Lanterne (XV^e),situated at La Rochelle, 

is the last medieval lighthouse of the Atlantic Coast.

I wanted to color the flowers with the same orange

than the moss we can see on the front of the photo. 

So I choose a yellow Heirloom

 and I used diluted Silk paint in Ginger Peach and Harvest Sol to color it.

I colored the flower spray and the Calla Lillies with Twinkling H2O.

And I used the same Silk paints to color the Diamante flower.

Green Tara Products used :

Heirloom 6,5 cm - Yellow

Flower spray - Gold

Calla Lillies - Cerise

Silk Diamante Flowers - White

" Le Jardin bleu d'Absolem "

"Le Jardin bleu d'Absolem" - The blue garden of Absolem - 

is one of the ephemeral garden of Chaumont-sur-Loire Castle. 

Do you know who Absolem is ? 

Well he is the caterpillar in "Alice in Wonderland" ...

I made three clusters of flowers. It helps to focus the attention on the photo. 

In the clusters around the photo, I used a Blue Wild Rose: 

the color is a perfect match with the butterflies one. 

The white/aubergine Apple Blossom 

and the lavender Roses match the color of the carpets.

Green Tara products used:

Wild Rose - Blue

Apple Blossom - Aubergine/White

Roses 2cm - Lavender

*****************************

" Red Berries " 

The colors of the photo are really contrast, so I went on the same idea to realize my layout:
bright green, red and black.

The Olive Xmas Vine were perfect to add the same kind of brightness to the embellishments. 

I cut the branch in small pieces in order to slip them under the flowers. 

The small green berries reminded the berries of the photo. 

I added a piece of Bud n Bow ribbon under the Black Lace Pearl and the Red Heirloom.

I like the fact that the Heirloom came in two sizes.

Green Tara Products used:

Heirloom 6,5 cm - Red 

Heirloom 4 cm - Red 

Lace Pearl - Black 

XMas Vine 19 cm - Olive 

Ribbon Bud n Bow 16 mm - Olive

Saying Goodbye from Jelissa

Hello Green Tara fans!

I'm so sorry to tell you that this will be my last post for GT. It has been a wonderful term with a fabulously talented team of girls, not to mention the gorgeous products that I get to share with you every month.

Without further ado, my first project is an altered Ikea photo frame.

"PERCEPTION"

I used the Gold and Olive meshes in the background and the Herringbone ribbon

to set off the black frame.

For the floral cluster, I have a lovely Velvet rose, Calla Lily, small Heirloom and Flower Sprays.

I topped the chipboard with one of my favourites, the Mini Rose. 

Green Tara products used:

38mm Mesh Green/Gold

38mm Mesh Gold

20mm Herringbone Dusky Pink 

**NEW** Velvet Rose 8cm Velvet Flowers Pink 

**NEW** Heirloom 4cm Silk and Organza Red

**NEW** 3cm Calla Lillies Cerise

Flower Sprays Pale Pink

Roses 1.5cm Pale Pink

My second share is a layout of my youngest son.

"SUNSHINE"

I created this layout with the bright happy colours of Green Tara flowers in mind. 

I used the Heirloom and Lace Pearl flowers. In case you don't know, Heirloom fabric flowers come in two different sizes that allow you to create a varied and interesting cluster.

In this corner, I matched another Heirloom with some mini roses.

Green Tara products used: 

Roses 1cm Yellow

Roses 1.5cm Orange

**NEW** Heirloom 4cm Silk and Organza Green

**NEW** Heirloom 4cm Silk and Organza Teal

**NEW** Heirloom 6.5cm Silk and Organza Flowers Yellow

**NEW** Lace Pearl 3.5cm Lace Pearl Flowers Brown

My last share is a set of ATCs I made for some crafty friends I'm meeting
in Perth over this weekend.

Each ATC features a different Green Tara fabric flower which I have always like to use as the centrepiece of my floral clusters.

This piece features a Lace Pearl bloom, which has a very soft, sweet look.

Here is the Velvet Rose, which adds a touch of sophistication to any cluster.

And lastly, the Heirloom which certainly is an attention-grabber.

And that is all I have for everyone. I hope to see all of you again soon, and please continue to show your support for Green Tara.

hugs,

Jelissa

Ulrika May projects and a Good Bye!

This will be my last post as a Designer for Green Tara. My term is over and I have really enjoyed working with all this amazing supplies! As usual I have many pictures and a whole bunch of things to show you! We start with this layout I created for OUAS April Challenge.

My baby boy 2008. Time flies!

I added some Bronze Liquid Acrylic Ink on the small Roses. I also tuck in a ribbon in the wooden border.

I pulled away the large Rhinestones from the flowers I put behind the photos. Then I used them as embellishments together with the other flowers.

I think this color scheme was really fun to work with!

Next up is a very cute and light card. I have put one large Heirloom flower as center piece.

Behind the flower I used two different ribbons for my bow.

One cute baby card in a salmon color. Not everything for babies need to be pink or light blue.

I wanted only a bow on this card to embed the stroller.

Herringbone Ribbon Peachy Pink Code:RB405PP

 And now to my very last project. I wanted to make a very manly gift box. No fuss but still a flower and a bow. I chose black and green to get that male feeling.

 I did a double bow and used the black cool ribbon that almost looks like a spider net.
