Scrapbooking Inspiration - Barista by Basic Grey

Green Tara as a wholesaler of lovely ribbons, flowers and embellishments, cater to a variety of businesses. Many of our customers use our products to complement scrapbooking ranges in classes or kits. We thought that we would tweak our colour inspiration by matching our products to some recent releases from scrapbook paper companies. 

In coming weeks we will do the same for popular cake themes (for our cake decorators) and on trend wedding/celebration colour themes for our florists and invitation makers.

If you need help with choosing product to match a theme for any purpose, please do not hesitate to contact us as we are here to help.

We start off with Basic Grey - Barista. This colour combination is popular at the moment and appears in a number of other scrapbook company ranges: 

We have a lot of products that coordinate with this range - this is a small example:

Heirloom Flower 6.5cm Yellow, Natural Jute 25mm, Glitter Organza 70mm Grey/Silver, Black Tutu flower, Satin Ribbon 15mm White, Satin Ribbon 15mm Yellow

Paper Leaves 5cm White, Skeleton Leaves 7.5cm Black, Paper Leaves 5cm Gold.
