Wow! We've been doing this for 14 weeks already? Amazing!
This week we were to use spectrum pads on our cards. At first I didn't think I had any, but lo and behold in my closet stash I found 4 of them...hardly ever used and probably none of them even current any more, even more shocking...I just looked up the one I used and it's in the catty!
I did 2 different cards as my idea started one way and then as I was doing it, I came up with something else in my head so I did 2 of them. On the one card I did a starburst type of coloring with a sponge. I punched out one size circle and dabbed the color on and then covered it up with the circle I punched, punched a larger size, dabbed the color on and then covered it up with the circle I punched, etc. until I got all the colors from the spectrum pad on there. The purple is the hardest to see.
Both cards use almost the same materials.
Stamp Sets: Happy Harmony, Jolies Fleurs from Lizzie Anne Designs
Cardstock: Glossy White, Pink Passion, Green Galore, Brilliant Blue, Basic BlackInks: Pink Passion, Only Orange, Lovely Lilac, Brilliant Blue, Green Galore, Black Staz-on and Celebration Spectrum pad
Accessories: Marvy Mega Punches, Black brads, black ribbon (non-SU), photo corner punch, 1 1/4" square punch
Make sure to check out the blogs of the other's participating in this challenge on the right hand side of my blog.
ETA: The paperclip is just holding my card together as it's a tri-fold card that just wouldn't photograph right and the colors didn't scan well at all.

WOW...great submissions to this weeks challenge. I can't believe you didn't even know you had some spectrum pads...lol...too funny!
Great cards Kim - love the layout of the second one.
Very Cute, Kim!
The medallion is really cool--thanks for sharing how you did this.
Great cards Kim, Isn't it funny how you can start out with one idea and come up with something totally different. I like that you did both ideas. The circle medallion is my favorite! Ida
Neat cards, Kim! Love those layouts that you chose!
I like the look of smaller stamps in different colors - great!
Very cool Kim! I really like the way the paisley looks in the background.
Fun cards!! I had to really dig to find mine too... ;)
Wow...both of these turned out great! So pretty!!
Great work on both samples - hard to decide which one I like the best.
same here Kim - I hardly ever use mine! great cards - really like the one where you sponged the colors on!
ohhh - I just think your "starburst" flower is too clever!
Lovely cards and great layout!
