The Big Move.

The Color Room has moved!!!
We have made some changes,  Go see the new site Here
One of the changes neccessary was so we could have our own domain name.  We had to add an 's' to our name.  That's ok.  We do room's'.  We will be uploading differently,  to either facebook or our blogs, but thats ok....more people to share with. (more personal blog traffic maybe?)
Anyway....We are up and live.  I am still adding content from the other site to the new site, and will continue to do that over the next few weeks.

So....The new palette?
Same as before, but we want you to be creative.  Use it as inspiration, no need to knock ourselves out trying to get THE perfect colours,  Use what you have....let the image speak to you, get other inspiration from the image, a shape, a pattern, a design layout, a word....anything.  Use the sketch as it is, or just loosely....get motivated and create something.

I used the sketch this week

and the colours....
This weeks palette looks like this

Heres mine this week.

Some Shimmerz used to match the colours in the palette....I used this page for a Shimmerz Post this week, if you are interested in seeing the colours I used.  (HERE)

Loved doing this one, even if the colours were tricky at first.  Just look to the inspiration picture for help, and go read about some ideas on how to tackle this if you are stuck on The Color Rooms.

Thanks for dropping in.
Have a great weekend.  (and a creative one too if you are lucky!)

Palette #118 The Scrap Cake

This past week has been the start of The Scrap Cake Sponsorship at The Color Room.
Seriously pretty goodies to play with and at least two of the collections that are being focused on in the next few weeks are Designed by one of our Designers Karola Witczak.  Stunning Papers and the palettes this month will reflect this....

The Sketch this week if you want to give it a try.......

Heres my what my play date this week with my art journal looked like........

I used some Shimmerz- Mango Madness featured in there quite heavily.....So pretty!!!

A Faber Castell Gelato (blue metalic)

and a Blue Faber Castell Big Brush Marker and a stamp......

(Plus a bit of normal stamping in black there too.)

Thanks for stopping in today.

TCR # 93- Megs Garden Beauty

So its another week over!

Today we release a new Palette, # 93, Her Room.

It looks like this.....

And just take a look at that gorgeous paper!  Perfect for fussy cutting and paper piecing.  Beautiful to use!

This weeks Sketch

and the card sketch to match

Head on over to see what the other designers did with this palette.

The Photo wall will look lovely this week I am sure!!!!

This weeks page.....

Here is a Page share.  It is created with the Megs Garden Palette and Shimmerz Paints.

It does double duty this time (TCR and the Shimmerz Blog!!!)

It was lovely working with Megs Garden Papers.  They are all vintage and beautiful!  Very elegant.

I grunged mine up this time with white paint and two colours of Pearlz Paints (Papa Purple and Blue into town.)  Which went very nicely with the palette and the papers.

1. I added white paint nice and thick with a credit card
2. I added some drips with a wash of the same paint
3. I dipped a lid into some blue into town pearlz that I painted onto my craft sheet in a little puddle, then painted in the centres to make nice circles (I did a couple of Papa Purple ones too)
4. I splattered some Papa Purple over the top as well
5. I painted any embellishments (tickets in this case) to match with what was left over on my craft sheet.  I used my fingers so it was a bit streaky
Then I layered all the other embellishments together.

Helmar 450 Quickdry held it all together!!!

These are come cute pictures my friend Miranda took of  her DD, My DD and Janines DD.  So cute to see them all together like this, they are usually much too busy (or we are....) to stop and get them posing at once!!!!  Glad Miranda got it!!

Ok.....off to go and work on the mornings release....with another gorgeous Megs Garden Palette.....

Stay tuned......I will be back in the morning!!!!
