Green Tara Feb DT Work

"Our Love"



I found this photo of my brother and his wife in my stash and I haven't seen my brother for 8yrs as he is in the Army and travels a lot but hes moving back home for 2yrs I'm so excited to be able to see him again.

 A beautiful cluster or Green Tara flowers both fabric and paper

 Clock in sepia has been lightly ink then a darker ink used around the edge as well as the hands of the clock and a dab of glitter glue in brown added to the middle of the hands to hide the small hole.

 the bird cage has been embossed 3 times to give it a real good look and the little bird inked and then an eye and wing drawn on in black.

 More beautiful flowers from Green Tara.

Heart spray has been embossed and a little bird in white left as is with its wings puffed up.

the words have both been coated in glitter.

 Hearts have each been embossed the same colour as the heart spray and one heart was cut so the other one could be linked thru it, I then hid the cut under the join.

December Green Tara Goodies

It's my turn again to show off some fantastic goodies from Green Tara.

"Bundle Of Joy"



A couple of first for me this is my very first gandbaby and my first boys page in what seams like forever.

Beautiful Damask flower in aqua teamed up with a white gardenia, peach apple blossoms and some little roses. The gardenia has been inked with a bright orange ink. White paper leaves and a cut up silver spray have also been added.

Another small cluster of flowers, silver spray and white leaves, this time a apple blossom is the main flower.

I love this ribbon so easy to use in so many ways.

I have created the background using strips of cobweb and mesh ribbon. Using some wire cord I created the string for the 2 kites.

A cluster of beautiful new blooms from Green Tara including Pink Heirloom & Green Primula, with a cherry blossom, each flower has had the tips painted with white paint, the flowers make the top of a litlle painted chipboard tree.

Ivory Apple blossom & Stripe ribbon both have had a little paint added. Organza spatter ribbon was cut in half length ways and them small cuts made in the side without the wire to create grass under the little bear.

Texture paste and a tree mask used to extend the top of the tree across the card.

 1.5cm roses were used on the extra branches the smaller rose had the first 2 outer layers removed to make it appear smaller than the other.

“Building The Family Castle”

By Linda Thompson

Welcome this time around I thought I would bring a little summer into our Spring. I spotted these wonderful little beach themed charms from Green Tara & had to do something with them.

I painted the charms white and once dry sanded some of the paint off leaving the indentations with paint it gave them a more worn and weathered look.

Taking the Natural Jute ribbon I made a bow, I snipped the ends with scissors and then used my fingers to lightly fray the ends and added some white paint to age it a little.

I choose 2 colours in the cobweb ribbon and instead of cutting it I just ripped it apart this helped to fray the edges and give me random sized pieces. I used a texture paste with sand as the base on the page and pushed the pieces of cobweb ribbon into the texture paste here and there leaving some sticking up while others lay flat.

I wanted a big yellow flower but I didn’t have one so I used a mustard Damask flower from the new range and added some white paint to soften it a little as the gold didn’t quite work. Using a selection of other flowers including 7cm petals, roses & spring flowers adding a little white paint to the darker coloured flowers.

Adding a little string finished off the top of the page and a few random mini flowers thru the page.

“Making a Splash”

By Linda Thompson

Thought I would put some colour into the day, here I have used a couple of the new ribbons along with the new Laurel flower.

The Laurel flower wasn't quite the color I wanted so I sprayed it with glimmer chalk in yellow and added a little blue to the edges so it would blend in more with the colours of the page. I have also sprayed a couple of the other flowers to give a blue gardenia red tips & a red apple blossom sprayed with yellow softens the colour.

Using the new organza flower ribbon I trimmed one side close to the flowers to use as a decorative border.

I created a big bow using the new organza polka dot ribbon, I found the white dots were to bright so I soften them with some yellow spray then lightly wiping with a tissue removing the colour from the ribbon but it still stayed on the dots.

Taking a red flower spray I twisted it around a cup to create a circle. I then used enough rat tail cord that went around the same cup twice and added ribbon stiff to it, once dry I was able to twist it around the flower spray and crate 2 circles the same size as the spray.
