 I have heat embossed  both the Twiddleybitz arrow & the Tweeny Bitz Cogs

Green Tara Designing Team work

Hello lovely followers!
Hope things is good with you all...
Today I'm wanting to share with you 2 layouts & a Canvas!!
The 2 layouts are part of my Green Tara Designing Team work....
My first layout is of my daughter back in 2009, where she dressed up as little red riding hood for book week....

my cluster has a few different Green Tara goodness!!!  A 6.5cm red Heirloom organza5cm White Azalea,4cm red & white Apple Blossoms... I have dabbed the edges of the white Azalea & white Apple Blossom with a Attic dust ink..
 1cm Mini Ivory rosebuds & a mini red rosebud poking out the side....
I also have a strip of the Organza Butterfly on wire in Crimson Organza Rosette in Silver Grey...
The Chipboard  fence is Twiddleybitz which I've dabbed with some modeling paste & once dried rubbed a little bit of red inks!!!!!  in the background have mixed some grey paint with some Impasto paste.... I have used Twiddley Template Chicken Wire
 & the ever so GORGEOUS Twiddelybitz - Vine Heart Silhouette where I have added some gesso & then stamped over it...

next up is this layout..     As the title states my Dream Machine!!
  I AM a B.I.G hummer fan.... 
 I would LOVE to own...(got the photo of this hummer off Pinterest) Hubby & myself have looked in getting 1 of these a few times now....BUT! what stops US from getting 1 of the beauties is the amount of fuel they can go though & we just can't justify that So! this will probably always be just a dream..
The 70mm of ribbon is Organza Metallic Flourish Black/Silver! Isn't LOVELY....
 I lopve that Green Tara Now! have Stamens.....  I've created my own flower, with Green Tara 4cm & 5cm Batik petals in Pink, then inserted the Black Flocked Stamen, also in my cluster is a 3cm Turquoise Rose which I have inked the edge in black ink!!
6.5cm Heirloom in Teal, a 3cm yellow Rose again I have inked the edge in black & some of the GORGEOUS rosebuds in Fushia Pink,Teal &Black... Also! have some Satin edge organza ribbon in Green...
the scull is a 3rd eye stamp...
& lastly is this Canvas it was part of my GDT for Twiddleybitz! 

in my mixed media background a few different stamps, inks & sprays along with the Twiddley Template ChevronTwiddleyTemplate Narrow Arrow, the Shooting Star, the word friends & the there chipboard are also Twiddleybitz.....  I have used the lovely Green Tara-Pleated Organza in Aubergine..
