Back away from the mist now and no one will get hurt

Yes, this is what I should have told myself.

Mental note to self:  take photo before you add the paint/mist, then if it doesn't work, no one will know.

I wasn't going to tackle The Color Room this week as I didn't have a lot of the colors but what the heck, give it a go and I came up with a few ideas to make the colors I needed (more on that later).

So late last night I decided I needed a few spots of paint between the pics (I based my LO on the sketch from SC #85).  Anyway, I thought I should wait until today to take a pic in case it didn't work then you wouldn't know.....but impatient me said, just do it.

When my spots didn't look right I decided to try the straw trick again but mmmmmmm, not what I wanted.  I put the mist down but then picked it up again and had another go.....I so should have taken that pic first.

Here is the palette in case you haven't seen it:

 

And this is it:

And a few close ups to show you how I made the colors I needed:

My love heart here is painted with nail polish.  Have you tried it before?  Worked perfectly.  Just like paint.

 

And the artisan chippy piece is covered in a creme eyeshadow.  It was a bit hard to journal on and then I smudged it when I was doing the whole paint thing.....oh well.

 

And then I resorted to cutting out flowers from some stamps for a bit more purple.

And in case you haven't been over to see the latest sketch at Stuck?! Sketches, here tis.  The girls have done an awesome job and mine and the rest of the gal's will be up in a few days.

See you soon.
