Beautifully Shabby
by Natasha Naranjo Aguirre

Hi everyone!  Natasha here with a few projects to share with you using a variety of gorgeous Green Tara flowers, lace and ribbon.

Meant to BE
 

The papers I used for this layout are from Donna Salazar's gorgeous collection, Natural Beauty.  I adore the colors and designs of this line!



 I love to use chipboard to add dimension.  All of the chipboard elements on this layout are manufactured by The Dusty Attic.  These bracket chippies were stamped to add a little interest.


 These gorgeous blooms are  by Green Tara.  Green Tara has the most beautiful fabric and paper flowers!  Here I've used a combination of Sakura flowers, Roses, Satin Rosettes, Organza Pearl Flowers and Wild Roses.  The jute ribbon in the background is also a Green Tara product.


Love my Zva Creative bling!  Not only are there flourishes, there is also leaf-shaped bling that is perfect to add to floral clusters!

Flowers:
Wild Rose 6cm Silk and Organza Flower (XF9318Wh)
Organza Pearl Flowers 3cm Ivory (XF5034Iv72)
Sakura 5cm Silk and Pearl Flowers Ivory (XF9221Iv)
Satin Rosette 5cm Satin and Pearl Flowers Sage (XF9330Sa)
Primula 4.5cm Silk and Organza Flowers White (XF9325Wh)
1 cm Roses White (FDR001Wh)
Ribbon:
Natural Jute Ribbon 15mm (RB17Nat15) 


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

Tool Caddy

 

Here is an altered tool caddy, I had so much fun creating this!



The beautiful blooms are all  Green Tara - Primula & Sakura flowers, Organza Pearl flowers and roses.


 The background of my tool caddy was first misted with ink.  Then I stamped script images onto the caddy.  I used a stencil and applied Natural Sand medium (mixed with paint) to create the harlequin texture.

On both sides of the caddy I lined the bottom edge with corrugated card.

Flowers:
Organza Pearl Flowers 3cm Ivory (XF5034Iv72)
Sakura 5cm Silk and Pearl Flowers Ivory (XF9221Iv)
Primula 4.5cm Silk and Organza Flowers Black Grey (XF9325BG)
2cm Rose Mint (FDR009Mi)
1 cm Roses Ivory (FDR001Iv)


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

Dusty Journal

Here is a  Journal that I altered.

 This floral cluster is made up of gorgeous Green Tara Primula flowers, Asters and Cherry Blossoms.

I decorated this Moroccan border with a Diamante Trim that was cut into pieces.
To decorate the binding of the journal, I tied pieces of organza ribbon and 'Loop n Tassel' ribbon.


  The beautiful Polka Dot Organza ribbon is also a Green Tara product.

 I used a stencil to create this gorgeous texture on the cover of the journal. 
 

And here is the inside of the journal!  The inside covers were also painted.

Flowers:
Green Tara: 4cm Aster Batik Sunset (FDS026BatSS)
Green Tara: Cherry Blossoms 2 Tone Pink (FLC22PPP)
Green Tara: Primula 4.5cm Silk and Organza Flowers Pale Pink (XF9325PP)  
Ribbon:
Green Tara: 38mm Polka Dot Organza Pink (RBB221P)
Green Tara: 12mm Round Silver Diamante Trim (RBY36)
Green Tara: 20m Loop n Tassel Berry (RB9694Ber)


Thanks for stopping by today!  Until next time!
Much love & hugs...

Soft pastel colors by Vicky Varvadouka

"I Love Snow Angels"
Hello Green Tara friends!

In my last post I showed you some ideas on how to use bold and striking colors! 
Now it is time for some soft pastel & romantic projects!!!

This is a layout I made using the sketch from Once upon a sketch challenge blog.
It's my little one making snow angels for the 1st time! 
She LOVED it so much!!!!

I have played with two different stencils, glimmer mist & modeling paste!
 Oh, I did some random stamping too!
The papers are Studio 75 from Poland and the chipboard pieces from Scrapmatts!

Here are some close ups!!!

 I have used so many Green Tara products, from flowers to ribbon & lace...

 One of my favorite laces to use is the one with the flowers because you can cut them off and use them separately!!! I also love the diamante trim because it allows you to do the same!!
Below you can see a layered cluster with the amazing
 wild rose, primula and pincushion flowers!!!

Bud & bow trim is perfect to make borders and the lace flowers are so romantic!!!


 The polka dot ribbon is soooo yummy!!!!

Kelly gets a little "grungy" with Green Tara!

"8 Months"

Hi everyone! Kelly here. Thanks for stopping in today! I have chosen this month to get a little "grungy" with my Green Tara goodies! Below, I used a "Wild Rose", "Satin Rosette" some "Velvet Leaves" and "Paper Roses."


I used lots of gesso, mists, and inks to grunge up the beautiful flowers a bit, and twirled the "Paper String" throughout the page. 



"Party Animals"

I had tons of fun creating this artsy/grungy page. I included a white "Wild Rose" which I misted various colors to match my page, along with another "Satin Rosette", "Paper Roses", "Velvet leaves", that gorgeous black "Heirloom flower", "Apple Blossom", "Cherry Blossom"....and more!


Throughout the page I used bits of my favorite ribbon, the "Black Herringbone Ribbon", and two different styles of the gorgeous "Silver Diamante Trim". Everything is coated in mists, gesso, and a bit of glitter.



"Perfect"

Lastly, this is a layout is a lot less grungy. I created this last month for a sketch example over at the Flying Unicorn. I have used lots of gorgeous Green Tara lovelies on this one, too.

Paper Roses...

an Aqua Damask, along with a beautiful Teardrop Spray and a couple of leaves...

And some of that super gorgeous Pearl Trim!

Thank you so much for taking a moment to look!! I hope you will follow along here at the Green Tara blog, and also  on our Facebook page! Have a wonderfully creative day!

Sharing the Green Tara Love
By Di Garling


Hello everyone, thanks for stopping by the blog.
Today I have three layouts to show you.
First one is a self portrait of yours truely.
 The portrait  hasn't really printed
very crisp considering it was done by a photographer!!!
I think he perhaps used a soft lens to hide some of the wrinkles. ha ha.


Naturally I have used lots of Green Tara goodies including
 this "Paper String" which I have wound around to create my circle
. It's great stuff & since it is paper it manipulates really well as
 opposed to ordinary string. Holds its shape well
& comes in lots of great colours & is really cheap too.


I have also used various Green Tara flowers including this
mustard "Damask", a lemon "Azalea",
a black "Heirloom" flower, a black "Flower Spray",
which I have twisted & curled to make it look real, as
well as lots of black "Mini Flowers".
Then I added some copper "Maple Leaves".

I mixed in some vines I had previously dried out,
added some 2 Crafty chipboard, did a little stamping, inking &
distressing, & hey presto, all done.


"Those Eyes"

For this layout I have used this adorable photo
of my best friends Grandaughter. She really has such beautiful eyes,
don't you agree?  I have used so many beautiful Green Tara
products here.


Some of the flowers I have used include this beautiful 
blue "Wild Rose",  a pink "Damask", a white "Sakura",
both pink & blue "Heirloom" flowers as well as different
size "Roses & Rosebuds".


In this photo you can see I have also used some of Green Tara's
 beautiful white "Lace", pink "Bud N Bow" trim as well as
some blue "Mini Tassel Trim".
I love layering various lace, ribbons & trims, they look
so opulent together.
I have also used lots more 2 Crafty chipboard on this layout too.


Lastly in this photo you can see I have tied a bow from yet
 another beautiful Green Tara ribbon. This time I have used the
"Organza Rosebud " ribbon. This ribbon is just so gorgeous.
Tiny little rosebuds embroidered along it.
Definitely one of my favourites.


"Captured Memories"

This is one I did a little while back for a challenge over at
"Once Upon a Sketch".
It is  based on a sketch by the very talented Nadia Cannizzo.
Again a lovely soft pallette featuring, yes you guessed it,
lots of beautiful Green Tara goodness.


I love this beautiful lavender "Damask" flower, I actually used
two of them. In the top cluster I wanted to repeat this flower in a
smaller size, so I took the top layer off the flower to use & I
still have the other half to use on another layout. Very
economical I thought. You can also see here one of the
sweet little "Lace Pearl" flowers in pink & then topped
 it off with a white "Primula". I have also tucked in  some
green "Velvet Leaves". These are wired so I always twist
the ends to create tendrils & poke them a bit so they have a
more realistic look to them.


I have also scattered a few "Mini Flowers" in pink around the
page to add some colour here & there.
Lastly I have tied a bow with some lavender "Loop Trim" to
finish off.
Well thats all from me today, I hope I have inspired you a little,
to use some Green Tara goodies on your next project.

A full list of products used is listed below.

While you are here on the blog it would be lovely if you would be
 one of our FOLLOWERS.
