Smile!

Hello Everyone

Just popping into Meg's to show you the latest I have made with the French Chic range.

I have used two of the same paper (below) from the Pk 2 to create this layout.

This is a layout of my nephews and niece, using the blue French Chic papers and some embellishments from Meg's Garden.

I have torn the edges of the PP and inked them, I have folded the paper to bring some texture to the layout. 

I have used pearl trim and a delicate lace in the corner and some white enamel dots, I have used water paints to create water marks and drops.

The heart embellishment is from Meg's garden, as well as the tiny pale blue ribbon

I used a simple wooden "smile" word.

Hope you have all had an amazing silly season!

Take Care

A TOUCH OF BLUE~ WATERCOLOUR IN BLUES

Hello Mary here to share a card I recently made for a friends birthday, using the Watercolours in Blue Range 

It is so easy to create a card with Megs Garden's coordinating rage of papers and Cut and Create Images.

To add softness and interest I added a piece of the Large Lace doily under the layers and used images from the cut and create sheet as my top layers.
I then decided to make a envelope for my card from the Same Pattern Paper in the Watercolours In Blue range, that I used for the base of my card.
The front of the envelope

and there I have a coordinating Card and envelope for my friend for her birthday. The vintage lady is from my stash, the rest of the products can be found at Megs Garden. 
Until next time
Happy creating

Watercolours in Blue Layout by Kelly-ann

Hello again...

I'm back today to share another layout I've just finished using Meg's Watercolours in Blue paper range. 

Blue is my oldest daughters favourite colour so this collection was perfect to use to scrap this photo of her... I've also used several ribbons, laces and trims ... 

all of which can be found in the ribbons and trims section of Meg's Online Store.

  

I've made this layout using the following papers ... again all of which you can pick up over on the 

Meg's Garden Website in the 12 x 12" paper section :)

   

Thanks for popping by for a look.

Cheers from Kelly-ann

Floating on a palette of Watercolours in Blues

Hello and Welcome To Megs Garden , Mary here with a layout created with the beautiful range Watercolours in Blues Range of Papers.

Firstly I cut the 4 x 12 " strip you receive with the corresponding  12x 12 " Pattern paper into strips and placed it as the base for my photo. I then dragged gesso over these strips to give the strips definition. I painted some texture paste through a mask , that I think looks like swan feathers.
A close up for you.

To me this beautiful paper looked like a lovely lake for my photo I took of a Swan in  Zurich to float on. To the right of the photo I punched a decorative border from one of the strips I cut, and then added a small doily I had cut in halve and layered it.Two bows in the gorgeous soft satin seam binding ribbons one in  blue and one in white and added the soft organza flower with pearls.I also added a couple of soft white feathers in the cluster. I took the London Image from the Cut and Create sheet and added on the right of my photo for some more layers . To add a contrasting colour I used Black Card Stock and a  Die, also adds another layer.
Pop over to Megs Garden Shop to find the products I have listed .

You will be so happy to create with this beautiful range .
Until next time

Watercolour in Blues - Cards by Margaret Mifsud

Hello sweet visitors and welcome to the Megs Garden Blog.  

Hope you are having a wonderful day.

I'd like to share two cards with you today created with the beautiful Watercolour in Blues Paper Collection. 

I have to say, one thing I really love about the Megs Garden papers is that they come in so many different sizes.  There's the Mini Paper Pack (which is what I've used here), the Papercrafter Mini Packs, the A4 papers, the 12" x 12" Scrapbooking papers and also the Mini Book Papers.   On top of that you also have the matching ephemera papers and they all come in either a printed version or a digital downloadable version.  So, whatever you choose to create, you will find a Megs Garden Collection which is eminently suitable for your project.  I think that is awesome don't you??

For my first card I used the Watercolour in Blues 03 paper.

Added a touch of stenciling with texture paste and also did a little stamping.

The flowers used are all from Megs Garden. (I will pop a list of all Megs' products used at the end of this post)  I just added some colour to the puffy paper flowers to match in with the papers.  The frame was made with a mould and some hot glue and then painted with acrylic paint.  

I was asked by a couple of people to do a tutorial on these frames but there's not really very much to it.  You simply need a mould and then just squirt the hot glue into it.  One little tip I can give you though is, make sure you place the nozzle right down into the mould so the glue can run into all the little details before it cools.  It took me a couple of tries before I realised this, so my first few frames had a few bubbles and missed detail.     Also, make sure you don't overfill the mould as you want to keep the back nice and flat.

The doily is also from Megs Garden.

The small lock came from my stash.

Watercolour in BLues 04 is what I used to create two pockets on the inside.  One is for a Gift Voucher and the other for a tag with a personal message to the recipient.

My second card was created with Watercolour in Blues 01. 

In between the papers I layered some gauze, some lace and a doily cut in half.

The large bloom is from Megs Garden and I have again added another small frame.  To make the frame this time I used some Mod Podge Melts.  I have discovered that they are much easier than hot glue to fill the moulds with.  Once heated they are a thinner consistency than the glue and they fill the moulds better.  Plus the sticks come in different colours so may not need to be painted.

I added a few micro beads and some die cut leaves ..

.. and some cotton for more interest and texture.

As I prefer to add my personal message on a tag or journaling card I usually create at least one pocket for the inside of my cards.  Here I have used Watercolour in BLues 06 and Martha Stewart's Floral Vine Deep Edge Punch.

Thank you so much for dropping by and taking a look at my little creations.  While you're here why not take a further stroll through the Garden and see what the rest of the Team have created.
