H2H Challenge and Mojo Monday--a double challenge!

This week I decided to play in both the H2H Challenge and the 

Mojo Monday sketch challenges. 

This week the H2H Challenge was to use 3 specific colors: 

I love this color combo and couldn't wait to get started! 

This is a 6" x 6" side fold card.

Stamps sets I used are:

Flower Pot--flowers and message

Universal Backgrounds--on paper flower

Spring Up--center of paper flower
The Background & Texture paper is from the Hooligans Kit.

 The paper flowers are from the Just Blooms Spring Blossom collection. OH...check out the scalloped border at the top! That is one of our Kraft Color-Ready Borders! I sponged black ink on it and voila! It's self adhesive so it's easy to add to your projects! Finally, I added some Licorice Opaques as accents.

Here is the Mojo Monday 180 sketch for this week.

Can't you just smell the flowers! I just love these colors together and the bright spring-like feeling it creates. Markers were used to color the flowers and flower pot. A second layer of marker color was added to create shadows.

Here's what was used to make the card:

D1409 Flower Pot

D1412 Noted Backgrounds

White Daisy cardstock card base

Colors...Sweet Leaf, Pansy Purple, Blush, White Daisy

paper punch

Spellbinders Long Rectangle

Here's some more cards using the

Morphed Spotlight technique in a variety of looks.

I kept the format the same but varied the papers and colors. What a difference small changes can make! On all three cards I used our Watercolor Pencils to color the flowers in the middle box. The outside boxes are left uncolored. All of the center panels have 3D Foam to lift them up a bit.

Left card: papers are from the Sarsparilla kit along with Colonial White, Twilight and Black. I also used Barn Red ink to distress the edges of the card. The images are stamped in Black ink. There is a dot of Liquid Glass in the corners of each panel and on the centers of the colored in flowers.

Middle card: papers are from the Bella kit on a Colonial White card base. Images are stamped in Cocoa.

Right card: Daydream paper on a White Daisy card base. Images are stamped in Black with Spring Iris ink distressing the card edges.
