This challenge was a tricky one for me given the time constraints. I started at 9:30 pm and finished by 10:10, not much time to spare on this one.
I hada TON of these little Certainly Celery squares that were pieces that had been cut out of the templates for some Ghiradelli chocolate boxes I had created months earlier. They weren't perfect squares, you will notice this if you look carefully, but I thought it was an excellent opportunity to use up some scraps and be 'green' (every day is Earth Day).
Most of my time was spent coloring the focal image, Apples in Chintz Bowl from Lockhart Stamps, with Copic Markers and "sponging" up some of the color with the colorless blender. (This was the challenge that taught me that Gina K. luxury carstock ROCKS for coloring with Copics! I highly recommend it!). If I had had more time I would have gotten my Wizard & Nestabilities out and cut the image and the mat out with them so they'd be perfect, rather than using a Marvy Uchida Giga Oval punch for the image then cutting the Pomegranite mat by hand. I thought of attaching the image without a mat, but it seems to get lost in the grid and I wanted it to stand out.
Thank you for the fun challenge and for taking the time to look at my card. I hope you like it!

What happened to the picture I posted? :confused:
The site had technical difficulties when I was uploading - it was uploaded twice, then the duplicate was taken away but so was the photo - moderators - can this be fixed?
I was so proud of the coloring I did on this card... :(
