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.
