fab `18 layout | Marina Gridasova

Hello ladies and gents! Marina is here and today I want to share layout with Megs Garden newest French Roses collection.
As you know first thing I do with new collection is to fussy-cutting all the elements from the ephemera sheets. So this is the 3rd project with the collection, and I just need to use prepared elements for my composition )))))

 details:

I added chipboard cut-outs under the photos to lift above the main composition. Also to create light work I glue die-cut leaves only on small part of them.
Hope I can inspire you to create something beautiful with our products! )))
Have a great day!

2 cards with Megs Garden French Roses collection | Marina Gridasova

Hello ladies and gents! Marina is here again with cards from Megs Garden newest French Roses collection.
First I fussy-cutted all the elements from ephemera sheets (and flowers and butterflies are my favs)))))
The first one is with the butterflies

 details:

 The second one is with the flowers

 some close-ups:

 Rose sterm is a part of the flower from previous card - it was too long so I cutted it and used here as accent. Black fan was perfect to create contrast composition.

more cards with Shades of Green collection

Hello crafty ladies! Marina is here with another part of inspiration with with  Shades of Green collection.
The first one is soft and light

details:

and the second one is a litte bit darker but still with lost of layers ))))

details:

This time I wanted to create flat cards, so used only print flowers from ephemera sheets and some embellishments.
And also today I want to share some tips with you about layering. Actually I don't like to use cards with people portraits or something like that, but these elements are great to create multilayered composition! You can rotate them and get lovely accent. Just look at the first one card - on the top of the card (left corner) you can see layer with some picture looks like smoke or something like that. This is one of the pictures with girl's portrait which was turned uside down ))))) So don't forget to use your imagination and create great projects!

Have a great day,
Marina.

Hello Meg's fan! Marina is here today with lovely mix of 2 our latest collections.
When I saw Sherclock III preview I decided to mix it with Shades of Green collection to create femine cards, so let's have a look what I create ))))

details:

Here for background I used Sherlock III and some elements from ephemera sheet. To create more colorful composition I used fussy-cutted flowers and clock from Shades of Green collection.

the second card

 a few close-ups:

Here I used more Sherlock papers for layers and details and used Shades of Green only for stamped and fussy-cutted leaves and several elements from ephemera sheet.
Hope you enjoy my little experiment with these collections ))))

Have a wonderful day,
Marina.

Shades of Green cards by Marina Gridasova

Hello Meg's Garden fans!
Marina is here today and I want to share with you my new cards with  Shades of Green collection.  I adore this soft and fresh collecton with lots of different elements on the ephemera sheets. You could fussy-cut all of them and get a lot of beautiful embellishments and layers for your projects!
So here is the first one card

 some close-ups:

 the second one:

 details:

 I want to create romantic works with floral accents, so used fussy-cutted elements. Also I want to use the butterflies, but because they were big for my cards, I used them as one more layer for the title. I love to create layered works, so always added a lot of them - and also because you find a lot of pretty details on ephemera sheets )))))

Hope you were enjoyed and inspired by my works and this collection and will create your own The Shades of Green projects!
Have a great day,
Marina.
