"Love" & a Mini Album by Vicky Varvadouka

"Love, We"

Hello friends and followers!!
Today I am sharing with you a layout I made using soft colors.
The sketch is by Emma Stafrace.

I used pink glimmer mist and a brick stencil for the background.
I have colored the Scrapmatts chipboard pieces with the same pink
 glimmer mist and some light blue acrylic paint and stickles.
I am IN LOVE with that GORGEOUS huge Damask flower!!!
My cluster consists of 2 lovely pink roses, 2 white velvet leaves
  which match with everything, and a beautiful Azalea!!!



Here is a pink tutu flower, a pink rose, white velvet leaf &
some great Green Tara  white lace.

 gorgeous stuff that was in my Green Tara  DT box!! Woohoo!!

Here you can see a pink and a purple rose, a pink Azalea, a
 purple velvet leaf  and a gorgeous butterfly!!!



For this cluster I have used a beautiful purple Sakura flower,
 a pink Heirloom flower, skeleton and purple velvet leaves,
  roses and a pink Azalea.



Another beautiful and huge butterfly, a skeleton leaf the bud n' bow
ribbon in pink and the gorgeous brushed sequin ribbon.

School Days, Masquerade And A Tag
by Kim Price

 

Hi guys. I know it's been a while since I have posted at Green Tara
 but I am back now and ready to go with another term on the
 Green Tara Design Team, and today I wanted to share two new projects 
and revisit an older project - all featuring some of the beautiful products 
available through Green Tara. 

My first project is a scrapbooking layout featuring a snapshot of my 
youngest daughter while she was still in high school. I have chosen
 elements such as the flower stem, ribbon and skeleton leaves to 
coordinate with my photograph and background and added one of the
 small butterflies to the opposite side of my cluster for balance.
 I adore layouts with lots of layers on them, but I also love a more
 simplified look such as is featured in this page.
 Here is a closer look at my side cluster:



and another look at the small Green Tara butterfly and silver trim. 




Green Tara Products Used :
Flower Spray Turquoise - PFST4
1.5cm Flower Pale Blue - FDVPB
Skeleton Leaves Turquoise - RTB113
Shimmer Ribbon Turquoise - RB243Tu
3cm Rainforest Butterfly Blue - XP0780B


For my second project I chose to decorate a mask using lots of
 flowers and other elements such as flower and beaded sprays, 
paper string, satin rope, a large butterfly and flower stamens.
 From bold burgundy to the softest pink shades, this piece is really 
feminine and makes a dramatic statement. Decorating your own mask is 
made really easy using a hot glue gun for fast drying and just a little
 imagination for a stunning effect. 

A view from the side:

and the opposite side:

Lastly I wanted to share a tag I created a month or so back using
 Green Tara flowers and some of the new Green Tara burlap trim.
 I love the amazing texture you can achieve with this new trim, 
which you can either leave in the ribbon form it comes in or pull some
 of the fibres apart for a more random look as I have done on this tag.

Cute and Bubbly layouts By Linda Thompson

When I saw this paper range from Bo Bunny called Isabella
I knew it would be a great fit for me, I mean, I have so many
girls how could it not be.

"Bubble Fun"



I wanted to make a simple page that brings the focus to the
 photo and the flowers.


I have cut a flower vine/spray in half and used a piece on either side
 of my page, twisting it around a small paint brush to give it more life.
 Here we have a pink apple blossom, new satin rosette in ivory,
 a pincushion flower & Black silk flower.


This side of the flower cluster has a ivory camellia as the main flower,
 a black small heirloom, pink cherry blossom, cream apple blossom 
and a new azalea in pink, I've also added some skeleton leaves and 
wire cord that has also been wrapped around a paint brush to make 
little swirls. I added small dabs of glossy accents to the flowers and 
sprinkled diamond dust over them.


Some Mesh ribbon has been cut to look like a banner.


I little white rose has been made grey with home made paint spray.
 Memory Maze chipboard banner.

"Cute But Dangerous"


This photo was taken while in a crowd of people at a Christmas 
carols show, little miss was spinning around as I caught the photo &
 the look on her face sums up this little cutie who keeps me on
 my toes every minute of every day.


New Burlap ribbon has been used in a number of places and 
any pieces that have fallen off from cutting have also been added 
to the page. Small cluster of flowers including a Sakura and 
Heirloom flower with a small rose. Memory Maze title.


A cute little cluster of flowers including a blue primula
pink lace with pearl flower and a cherry blossom,
 each has been slightly painted with gesso. More burlap ribbon 
tucked in at the top and some loose strands.

Ladies-n-Red


Hello everyone, Jan here again.  This month I decided on a 
red, black and white theme. 


This beautiful red Satin Rosette is the perfect embellishment
to compliment the bride's flower in my photo. A white
4cm Heirloom, a red Rose, some tiny Rosebuds, and white
Velvet Leaves make the perfect cluster.


I love these Silk Flowers with a Swarovski Crystal and Green
Tara Lace is just so gorgeous I use it a lot.

Happy Moments Canvas


 This is my gorgeous niece Danika.  These pics were
taken at her Year 12 Formal.


In this cluster I used a 4cm Heirloom, a red and a red and white
Cherry Blossom, a white 1.5cm Rose and a 1cm Rose, a red Mini
Flower and some green Velvet Leaves.


 I cut down one of the green Velvet Leaves and added a 1.5cm
red Rose to just finish off my design.

Happy Birthday Card


Again I have used Cherry Blossoms here in red and white and
another red Rose with green Velvet Leaves.


 Green Tara's Polka Dot Organza Ribbon is just so
gorgeous it looks great on anything.
