Okay, before you call the challenge police let me explain. I did not have the proper supplies to do the painted grid today. BU,T I did have paint, a brush and two Clear Dollar Stamp birdies that needed a cage. SO I painted the faux grid around them. If this is totally out of control, please pm me and I will remove it from the gallery.
I had a somewhat stressful Sunday. Rosco Dog was sick. In all the eight years that I have had him, he has not once refused food. Yesterday, he walked away from his dish. I was so worried about him. This morning he was feeling much better. So I had a little talk with him to see what caused his tummy to be upset.
He kindly told me that he had over heard me mention that next Saturday he will be eight years old. He also heard me say that in people years he would be 56. That is what sent him into a depression of sorts. So I said, at least you aren't as old as me! His tail wagged.......All is good....now the card......
Stamped the birdies on w/c paper. Colored w/re-inkers. Drew the cage, branch they are on and tree. All other coloring done with re-inkers too.
I then took a very thin brush and painted the black "grid" lines. Layered my scene with black and green cs.
Put on a white sort of square card that I put some misc. dp on and added the dots. Also punched out four circles of cork for the corners.
Please forgive me for cheating here. I promise I won't do it again!.......Hope you like this..... TFL :0)

Hey Mutnik, don't make a promise you can't keep!! LOL!! I think your improvising with the grids was SO CLEVER that there's no way any P-O-L-I-C-E are going to be after you; now, I can't guarantee Anne Ryan won't be after you, but certainly not the challenge police. You did such a creative job as always. Your art always makes me stop and think - How did she come up with that an dhow did she do it??? What a great piece of art my friend and colored perfectly!! TFS!
