My last DT Project for Megs Garden

I have loved being on this team, the products are gorgeous to work with and their papers just divine.

So this is my very last post for Meg's Garden as part of the team but I do look forward to using their products again in the near future. And you never know I may just be back Meg has kindly offered me a guest spot in the future.

"Signature book"


I was inspired to create this after watching a you tube video from Scraps of Darkness kits.


Beautiful transparency butterfly.


Another gorgeous Transparency a antique chair.


Meg's garden paper used as the background Green Toile, I covered the entire book in this paper and cut the white flowers out and spread them through out the flower cluster.


I cut a couple of flowers of a fairy viola stem in pale pink and forget me nots in cream were added amongst the flowers.


Here you can see the hand cut flowers from the paper and a velvet flower poking out from the stem above.


The spine was made using masking tape and glimmer mist.


The back was covered in the paper.


A few cut out flowers also added to the back.


Plain paper added to the inside using satin seam binding, which I also used to tie the book shut.

Its my turn over on the Megs Garden Blog today and I thought why not create another canvas using Megs Garden Papers.

"Seasons Greetings Canvas"









Instructions

I covered my 8x8" canvas with paper from the Noel & Music paper then added gold paint to the edges to blend the paper into the canvas more.

Cutting the Santa out of Santa & his compass paper I added foam tape to the back. I also cut the doves out the cut off strip from Noel & Music paper.

I cut some pieces of cheesecloth and coloured it with green spray adding it to the bottom of the canvas and building my flowers around it.

The chipboard window was painted white with touches of gold paint.

The chipboard word was painted and while still wet I dipped it in Glass glitter.

Today I thought I would try something a little different & decorate a couple of gift bags.

With a couple of dies and the beautiful Christmas papers from Meg's Garden they turned out way better than I expected they would. I also popped another Christmas card in as well.


.............................................................................

Starting with the card today.


Here I have used 2 different papers 

Cutting the tree out of Oh Christmas Tree paper strip and popping some foam dots on the back to make it sit above the rest of the card.

From Tis Christmas Time new collection I used Christmas plaid strip to cover my card.


Cutting a few flowers out of the left over strip paper to decorate one of the corners.

Memory Maze chipboard words covered in gesso the glass glitter in gold.



I used a few of the off cuts from the papers to cover a chipboard banner and added some green tara trim.

.........................................................................................


White Gift bag.


Using the Christmas & the Tree A4 collage sheet I cut a santa out and added foam dots to the back to make him pop, I also cut some christmas fern & leaves from A berry Merry Christmas paper and popped them under the edge of santa.


Using a Tanya Leigh Designs transparency circle to help form part of the title. and added a Green Tara ribbon bow and beads to the top corner.


Lots of beautiful flowers from Green Tara

A Touch a Christmas with Megs Garden


Can you believe how fast this year has flown by with Christmas almost upon us yet again, I'm always running behind around Christmas time so thought I would get started on my Christmas goodies.

"Merry Christmas Card"





Instructions

I cut the wreath out of the A Berry Merry Christmas paper and attached some foam tap to the back of it.

I then used the rest of paper to cover my card and cut a few random leaves etc out off.

Using some gold metallic paint I dipped my finger in it and ran it around the outside edge of the card, and also painted the chipboard word and the tips of the flowers.

While the paint was still wet I sprinkled glass glitter over the chipboard word and flowers.

Attach the wreath and then decorate around it with the flowers and cut out leaves.

Hello Megs Garden Fans,I'm back with you again today to
share a cute little gift box.
I'm enjoying created with the wonderful Megs Garden products, they truly are beautiful.

"Gift Box"


I started with the Dreaming in Lavenders paper from the Dreaming in Meadows collection and covered the bottom half of the box in the solid section of the paper, Then cutting out a border piece from the flowers and leaves.


I added a Draw pull handle to the top of the box.




 I covered just the top of the box lid in paper, and added some lace and trim to hide any edge bits that may be showing.


I glued the paper to the bottom of the box then added foam dots to the border piece to give it more dimension, I also added a few random leave cut from the paper into the border.


 & a Lion head knocker to the side.


Topping the top with flowers and a butterfly then applied a small amount of purple ink to the lace & Gesso here and there all over.
