More designing for GREEN TARA

designing with the beautiful Green Tara products is a dream
I created this TAG IN A POCKET to demonstrate how versatile
these products are 
I used the bronze leaves and the ivory roses.


 it's always handy to have a card on hand for the unexpected !!
and these flowers are the perfect embellishment !
 the LEAVES are wired enabling me to bend and twist them in whatever direction I desire .
the ROSES come in all colors and sizes.
 below is another layout I created recently  using the delightful roses again and the large  poppy flower
this divine background paper is 7Dots paper created by the fabulous Finnabair from Poland

With this background I wanted my layout to be simple so I have just used
strips of paper and lace and the clusters of Green Tara Flowers.

 Green Tara Roses
Green Tara  "Poppy" Flower.
