I saw the pretty colors this week and had to play along. I just yesterday picked a grape under our balcony and was tasting pretty good...just a few more days of sun...yummm...concords.. so after seeing the colors and thining of our grape vine, I went with this stamp.
I started with pencil crayons, but they hardly showed up and tried a touch of water coloring but wrong paper, so stuck with normal markers and the green with a Chameleon marker. By the time I did that the colors got a bit darker, but hope still O.k. Sponged the edge, with soft summer blue and added a bow...felt like dessert...:0)....I left the strip blank as then when I know what I want the card for, I can stamp a little sentiment along there.
Thanks for the visit and the great colors to work with...:0)

Our grandchildren are not identical twins - a boy and a girl - 5 years old and so much energy and delight, that I would do that crazy drive more often if I could but we always need at least 4 days......Wow, a plethura of beautiful elements that all come together in a perfect way to make a perfect card!! Gorgeous, and my favorite thing is the little strip of plaid....so lovely!!~

What a stunning card this is Wendy- wow! Would you believe I actually pulled this very same stamp out of my stash to use, and I could not figure out what to do with it so I put it away. And look at the masterpiece you came up with. These concord grapes are colored to the 9's and look so yummy on the vine. I love your fancy matting around the image, the wonderful touch of plaid, your sheer bow and this wonderful die at the top of the card that reminds me of a lattice for the grapes to climb. You thought of everything and created a stunning card for this week's color challenge. ~Karen.
