THE COLOR ROOM &

ONCE UPON A SKETCH

This week I needed a little help to get motivated so I headed over to see this weeks Color Room Palette, so not the colours I would normally use but why the heck not. But to beef up the challenge I thought I would check out the Once Upon A Sketch site I have been hearing about and ended up combining the two challenges to really get me thinking.

I manged to find a blue & purple flower paper from MM that I had in my stash for at least 3yrs, added some blue misc paper and added purple embossed paper from Coredinations dots range.

I painted the background with white paint that I had watered down and added a few drops of glimmer mist and allowed it to run. I also glimmer misted a paper doily.

Flowers are from Green Tara and Manor House leaves from Green Tara

Green Tara Jan DT work

Scooby doo loving girl

My 5yr daughter is Scooby mad and to make matters worse they only make Scooby boys clothes and toys, so she has been collecting the soft teddies. It was a little confronting to add flowers and ribbons to a somewhat Halloween page but overall I'm happy with the end result as is my daughter who carried the page around for a day lol.

String in black - To create the spiders web and spider.

Skeleton leaves in silver - I scrunched these up in my hands to give a warn look.

Gardenias in black - These have been sprayed with a silver glitter Glimmer Mist.

Copper leaves in small

Natural Jute ribbon

Organza Splatter ribbon in blue - Due to having a wire edge it was easy to create a crease in the ribbon to give it a ruffled look.

Organza Stripe in black - Used to create the ribbon flower, pull the wire out of one side of the ribbon completely then with the remaining wire bend one end over so it can't pull thru. Start to pull on the other end of the wire while pushing the ribbon down the wire so that the ribbon begins to gather, once you have it completely gathered you can cut off the excess wire and bend the two ends of the wires together to create a rosette flower.

I have never really been into the off the page items, they look great but my first thought was how the heck do you keep them clean from dust. Well that was until I started doing them, I still don't really have a lot of room in my over crowded house for them but I must say I do enjoy doing them.
