The Color Room

When I saw this photo of mine, I couldn't think of a better challenge than the colors I saw at The Color Room last Friday. I immediately looked for papers and embellishments with the coordinating colors and I am so glad I took the challenge because I actually used my old stash on here.

But I couldn't find a good gray colored paper / embellishment so I painted the KI Memories die cut (originally black) pp using Ranger Paint Dabber in Mud. I also loved that my Fiskars circle cutter was able to cut through the die cut with no problems. I thought I was going to destroy the die cut as I was cutting it. I also misted the painted die cut with GM marshmallow to give it a bit of shine.

Close up of the die cut and the butterflies and flowers I cut out from a patterned paper.

 

Here's the close up of the title and the butterflies and the trail...

Materials Used:

PP: Heidi Swapp, SEI, Bella Blvd, KI die cut pp

Alpha: Silhouette die cut

Embellishments: Prima Say it in Pearls, Thread

Inks: Disress inks, Stickles, Glimmer Mist

Tools: Martha Stewart border punch, Bazzil n Stitch template

Everybody was on the Color Room last week and I had to jump in too because the color pallete is just so pretty. And like my OA layout the other day, the colors are totally out of my comfort zone but I really liked how it turned out! And i'm loving pastels more and more!

Here's my take and I also used the sketch over at Pencil Lines (Sketch 182) and their sketches are just perfect for anything!

These frames are too cute! They are also from the same paper line and I just cut them out. The felt flowers are also AC had them for a while now and it's perfect for the color palette so I just stitched 2 hearts together.

Got a chance to use my Inkadinkado lamp post stamp again. I heat embossed it in black too. The prima trim at the bottom of the photo is also cream in color so I sprayed Glimmert Mist Patina on it to match the pallete.

These are flowers from the pp which i cut. The bottons created a center push so i sort of crunched the flower a bit and used pop dots.

This is a new stamp from Hero Arts which i just got. Inked it with Staz On and I painted the flowers and basket with Glimmer Mist too. The center of the wheels were buttons and I just covered the wholes with liquid pearls in matching light blue color.

Materials Used:

American Crafts Letterbox papers, OA journaling cards

Martha and Fiskars border punches

Inkadinkado and HA stamps

AC Thickers, MM buttons, AC felts, Prima Trim,

I think that for now, I will actually switch to pastels! I know how shocking that is and it's surprising me too!This is so not me but I am truly enjoying it. Thanks for looking.

Cheers,
