3 Layouts to share!

Hello!

In this first layout I used loads of different flowers, "8 cm Lavender Damask flower", "8 cm Lavender Velvet Rose", "Violet Cherry Blossoms" and "White Flower Spray", "White Pearl Lace Flower: and "2.5cm Metal Heart" all with a coat of Gesso.

 Some "Opal Velvet Glitter Ribbon" behind the photo and another "Damask Flower".

I added some details to the edge using torn "White Mesh".

More "Glitter Ribbon", a "Cherry Blossom" and "Skeletal Mesh".

Here I used some ribbon: a little tip on how to adhere sheer organza ribbon discreetly, I first used double sided tape where I knew it was going to be covered and attached the edges with a couple of stitches, I used

"Merry Christmas 2012"

I went for a neutral colour combo,  I used some "Skeleton Ribbon" at the bottom of my photo matting

 (it is one of my favourite Green Tara products!!!!).

I made my own "wreath" photo frame by wrapping gorgeous "Jute Ribbon" around a wire circle, I simply stitched it together at the end:

Also more gold in the cluster at the top using "Natural Jute Ribbon" & "Gold Leaf Garland":

I altered a "Silver Leaf" with gesso and distress stickles and wrapped it around my photo frame, added a gorgeous gold leaf garland and some "Skeleton Mesh in gold":

A wooden reel with some "Gold mesh", another little tip, try using ribbon and trims in a different manner every time you use them.

My First Layouts for Green Tara

Hello everyone! I'm so excited to be here! I have three layouts to share with you today.

                                                                 

"Bathing Beauty"

I just love this photo of my mother Vilma in her youth. The camellia was one of her
 favourite flowers so I thought it was fitting to use one for the focal point of my
 floral cluster on this layout. This camellia was ivory to begin with. I changed the
colour with my own custom blend of mist. 

The mesh ribbon has just the right amount of body to create the perfect bow. 

The mulberry paper flowers are so easy to colour. 

I've used a Distress Marker to add some colour to the apple blossom
on the right, then I misted it with a little 

water to make the colour spread and soften. 

I am crazy about Green Tara lace! I just love the texture it adds

 to a project. When I'm aiming for a shabby chic look, I like to

 glue lace to my layout with Claudine Hellmuth Multi Medium,

 then I brush a bit of gesso over the top.

Green Tara products used: 

Camellia 8cm ivory - CODE: XF9219IV
Azalea 5cm in pink/ivory and cream - CODE: FLA100
Apple blossoms white - CODE: FDV044WH

Mesh ribbon 38mm camel - CODE: RB6734CAM

Lace 18mm ivory - CODE: RB6810C

"Love..."

On this layout I've actually re-scrapped a photo from a few years ago. My tastes

 have changed quite a bit since then and I wanted to put a new spin on it. 

The lace pearl and tutu flowers have such a fun, whimsical feel! They made

 me think of my sweet little girl and were therefore perfect for this page. 

For variety I added some mini roses and a cut up

 flower spray I recoloured with a Distress Marker.  

For texture and dimension I've used Green Tara lace, 

skeleton mesh, burlap ribbon and natural jute ribbon. 

I really like the natural tones of these trims so I 

left them that way.

Green Tara products used:
Lace pearl flowers pink and ivory - CODE: XF9332DP, XF9332PP, XF9332IV

"A Mother's Love" 

Scrapbooking is such a therapeutic hobby. I lost my beautiful mum last year

 and now I find so much comfort in scrapping photos of her. I love this picture

 from my wedding day. This layout is actually a class I'm teaching at the moment. 

The floral cluster includes heirloom flowers,
roses and a white flower spray that I cut up.
 I coloured the roses with mist.

Here I have wrapped the ribbon and lace around the page,
 then attached a separate bow afterwards. The bow was created
 with a bow maker tool and stitched to the page with a needle
and thread. I find it sits really well that way.
