This month, Couture Cardstock has teamed up with The Color Room, a website dedicated to inspiring crafters with a new color palette and sketch every week. Each week, Alyssa or myself will be creating a layout using coordinating Couture Cardstock colors for the palette offered. At the end of the month, we will be supplying The Color Room RAK winner with a prize pack containing all the coordinating colors for the month of June!

I had the honor of going first and creating with this week’s palette. {Her Room} looks a bit like this:

This week’s matching Couture Cardstock papers are “Courtesan, Crush, Hush, and Snow“. I went a little artsy on it, of course, using Glimmer Mist in “Red Velvet”, “Marshmallow”, and “Bubblegum”.

The very back, background is “Courtesan”. I altered it with distress ink and acrylic paint, and before I mounted the “Hush” cardstock, I cut out the middle of “Courtesan“ to preserve for other details. I then cut the font out of this scrap, using my Cricut Expressions, outlined the letters with my signo pen, and coated with Glossy Accents to make them dimensional and shiny. (Come on, who doesn’t love shiny, ooh!) I also cut a strip of this leftover “Courtesan” and stitched it to a strip of “Crush” for the faux ribbon detail.

The “Hush” cardstock was altered using the Glimmer Mist and a border punch, and then I stitched around the edges.

For a fun detail, after adding my paint dots (created using the back-end of a paint brush) and letting them dry, I topped them with Glossy Accents as well.

Next Monday, Alyssa will be bringing you Palette #10. But in the meantime, make sure you visit us throughout the week as Nicole will bringing you a gorgeous project tomorrow and the rest of the week is filled with projects featuring our partnering company this month, Cosmo Cricket!
