Blogger Challenge, Week #36

I think it's week 36 anyway. I missed last week as I'm a total blonde and did this weeks as last week, totally missed a week in there. I thought I would get around to posting one, but I didn't and I'm sorry about that!

This week our challenge was to use the layout on page 44 of the Spring Summer Catalog - "with deepest sympathy". Unfortunately I was making a sympathy card and I love how it turned out even if it was for a terribly sad occasion. I did change it up a bit by using my hardware below the picture instead of above it.

Blogger Challenge, Week #14

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.

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.
