A Beautiful Green Tara Share

"Beautiful Sweet Love"

This is one of my DD's many years ago with her favorite baby doll, this poor doll got so loved it lost all it's limbs several times and eventually was un-repairable, we managed to replace it with another doll exactly the same that we found at a garage sale and still to this day even at almost 11yrs old she still can't sleep without her baby doll.

 A beautiful cluster of Green Tara flowers, I started with a blue flower vine and twisted it around a small bottle so it became a circle then I stuck a beautiful Sakura flower in lime and surrounded it with heirloom, cherry blossoms, apple blossoms & rose flowers.

This time I've used a larger Heirloom flower and surrounded it with apple blossoms, cherry blossoms & a rose, I've also popped a small piece of a silver spray in to the flowers. A small yellow embossed butterfly also from Green Tara and a couple of ribbons cut to look like a banner.

Cute little metal heart embellishments left in their raw state.

Beautiful chipboard word from Memory Maze painted black and coated in glass glitter.

Cute chipboard banner tags also from memory Maze painted and inked to match.

FWAB Share

I created this layout last month and can finally share the entire thing here with you.

'Tiny Sailor'

This is my youngest DD back in 2012 having fun at Jambaroo.

Here I have used pieces of a Grace Pearl Flourish in Chocolate, I don't think I have ever used a FWAB as one piece, I like to cut them up and make new pieces or use smaller pieces here and there on my layouts like I have done here.

Here I have tucked another 2 pieces of the above flourish under the flower cluster and it still left me with 5 pearls to use another time.

Here I have used a small piece of a Jasmine Puffy Flourish in black, saving the rest of the flourish for another day.

Time for another Green Tara DT share

When I saw this paper range from Bo Bunny called Isabella I knew if 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 apply blossom, new satin rosette in ivory, a pincushion & 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, & my first Charms Creations embellishment.

Memory Maze chipboard frame, was first painted in gesso then sprayed with home made paint sprays in cream, grey & pink then coated in ranger crackle paint.

I little white rose has been made grey with home made paint spray. Memory Maze chipboard banner also treated the same as the frame but instead of the crackle I have drawn stitched on lines.

A Treasure Box & Jumbo Peg

Welcome Green Tara Fans, today I thought I would share some super cute items I recently.

"My Treasure Box"

I haven't been to well this past month and I wanted to create something simple yet elegant, so I started with a 6" tall gift box I got from Ikea.

I started by wrapping the box in some lace sequin trim, and I popped a small piece of foam on the corner of the lid to help pop my flowers up and make the ones at the back taller than the front.

Lots of Green Tara flowers were added, a big Lavender velvet rose, green tutu flower, purple gardenia, I have also used some mulberry petals.

Taking a single flower scrunch it upwards in your fingers so the center of the flower becomes a point and the petals clump together creating a new look for the flower, these can be made with several layers also. I have used 4cm & 5cm flowers.

A big bold orange bow made from organza polka dot ribbon.

Some gorgeous skeleton leaves in lavender teamed up with some small off cuts of lavender pearl spray, cherry blossoms & rose buds.

Small pieces of Flourish with a bling vine added here and there.

A tutu flower in green tucked in the back, another flourish with a bling in lavender this time.

As my creative spirit found its way past my coughing I created 2 small layout cards to go inside, I do still need to do one more for the last 3 kids.

"Mini Layouts"

These mini layouts fit perfectly into the little gift box.

A sakura flower take the center piece in this small flower cluster along with mulberry petals, cherry blossom and a large rose. A single piece of flower lace coloured and added under the cluster.

A small cluster of flowers featuring a rose that i have coloured a couple of rose buds and some pearl spray. A little tag topped with some wave ribbon. some coloured lace added as a border at the top and bottom.

Taking a metal heart i first coated it in gesso then sprayed it with glimmer mist, i dried it with the heat gun and repeated the process until i was happy with the look, i then lightly sanded it so some of the metal showed through again, the heart was then wrapped in rat tails cord ribbon and a little rose bud added.

Lots of texture paste & sprays used to create the back ground and a stamp to finish it off.

"Jumbo Wooden Peg"

I found this jumbo peg at my discount store, it stands 6" tall.

A pretty bow made out of wave ribbon and a little rose. 

Ive cut the bottom layers of a pincushion flower and inked the edges, topped it with a little Memory Maze mushroom that has been inked with distress stains and then had crackle paint applied.

A ivory apple blossom has been coloured to suit and a cherry blossom in ivory also added with inked edges, finished up with some more wave ribbon and a tiny yellow rose.

The peg was painted in gesso then Distress stain added and rubbed in with my fingers so blend the colours.
