TCR #73 - Treasure the moment

Another color palette & sketch at The Color Room....

After digging through my stash of goodies and hours of staring into space...LOL....I did a layout of us at the Huntington Library in San Marino, CA.  I loved viewing the art collections and walking through the botanical gardens.  It is definitely worth going if you've never been. 

All the flowers and leaves are from I Am Roses.  The corner chipboard pieces are from Deluxe Designs-I first painted them with green acrylic paint, then crackle medium, and a final coat of white paint.  I did a similar technique with the word "Treasure", but used white paint and picket fence crackle paint. I dabbed alcohol inks on some Thickers to match the color palette.

Supplies~
design papers: Scenic Route Paper Co., Chatterbox
ink: crushed olive
punches/dies: laurel leaf{MS}; large circle set{Spellbinders}; treasure die{Sizzix}
alcohol inks: rust, terracotta
thickers: Daiquiri, Poolside

Every Day To Remember

This is my first sketch for The Color Room.  I love their sketches and color palettes...can't wait to create a layout.  Here is this week's palette & sketch:

These monochromatic colors are so different from what I normally use...this is why I love The Color Room!  It's a great challenge for me to think outside my "comfort zone" of colors.  Well, here goes....

I decided to create a 5x5 card using The Color Room card sketch:

This card was fun to create!  I used Bazzill's monochromatic scrap pack cardstock for the color palette.  The edges were distressed with my distressing tool and distress inks.  I took some white seam binding ribbon and dyed it with some Glimmer Mist.  The flower is handmade using Prima flowers.  I added Stickles for some sparkle.  For the pearl flourish, I took my Copic marker and colored the white pearls.
