Fall Birthday Card - Green Tara & Authentique


I wanted to share another Green Tara card with you today.  I've said it before, but I love pairing Green Tara with Authentique papers (these are from one of their earlier collections). For this card I wanted to highlight one of the new 3cm Rainforest Butterflies.  This size is perfect for cards, and in the Bronze colour, it pairs wonderfully with the new Light Brown Roses.


I was so happy to receive some of these new Suede trims - not only are they great for wrapping around part of a card, but I'm looking forward to using them on a lot of 'Boy' scrapbook pages.


It's like someone read my mind when Green Tara started carrying these Wire Cords.  I can shape them how I like, and they will stay that way.   For this card, I wrapped the cord around a bamboo skewer, then tucked it in around the flowers to look like part of the 'greenery'.


Supplies (Green Tara):
trims - 3mm Suede Cord Olive (RB761Ol), 1mm Wire Cord Green (RB1164Gr)
flowers - Light Brown Roses 2cm (FDR006LB)
butterfly - Rain Forest Velvet and Organza Butterfly 3cm Bronze (XP0780Br)

Other Supplies:
PP, letters, tag - Authentique
adhesive - Helmar Premium Craft Glue, Helmar 450 Quick Dry, Helmar Zap Dots
ink - Ranger
other - book paper
