The Color Room Palette #95

With my girls being back at school (at long last), I found some time to play over at The Color Room. I just LOVE this week's palette (#95). It's nice and bright, and very, very me!!!

And I absolutely adored Lydell's sketch, so I used that as the inspiration for my layout.

Titled: This Me. It's rare that I get an opportunity to use so much red, so I made the most of it, and went to town, lol! I love red, but it's not always an easy colour to use. And yes, for those of you who are wondering, this photo of me was taken a very, very long time ago - about 15 years ago I think?

Products used: Imaginarium Designs chipboard - flourishes, butterflies and alphas. Prima flowers and leaves. Hambly transparency. Kaisercraft paper roses.

Here's a few close-ups of all the details:

Imaginarium Designs chipboard - absolute heaven to play with. The flourishes have been Glimmermisted and topped with puff paint and Tattered Angels Glimmer Glam.

More ID chipboard, lol! The small alphas have been inked and glazed with Dimensional Magic. The large alphas have been inked then glazed with Stiletto Glimmer Glam. Seriously, where would I be without my Tattered Angels? I use that stuff on everything!!!

Flowers - lots and lots of flowers. Actually, there nearly wasn't lots and lots of flowers because my cat Jellybean decided to nick off with one of the roses. Fortunately I found it in time before too much damage was done. Does cat hair count as damage???

The Color Room Challenge #82

I'm back! It's been sooooo long since I've had time to play in The Color Room, and I have missed it greatly. But I am finally back!

This layout was created for Challenge #82. Yes, that was a couple of weeks ago, but I've been busy!!! :-) Life got in the way, as per usual...

Here's a close-up of the Prima candelabra that I inked blue (with Ingvilde Bolme's new inks), and covered with glitter.

I used the blue ink on the grey ribbon flowers too. Plus a little purple colour from a copic pen. I added a few Prima flowers, and cut up a Prima vine. Lets just say this DIDN'T turn out anything like what I had in my head, lol!!!
