August Card Challenge *WINNER*
Finally getting around to drawing my winner.  Back to school has been hectic!  Randomly drawn winner is Wild4Duran2!  PM me your address and I will send you a little prize. :)

For this month's card challenge, I am going to challenge you to use something on your cards that is starting to be prevalent in our gardens in August:  fruits and vegetables!   Create a card with a fruit or vegetable image on it.  In addition, I want you to use some ink or spray mists (splatters, edges, etc.) in a color that reminds you of fruit/vegetable "juice."  If you are stamping, you might be using that ink for your image, but I want you to add some embellishing with it.  That's it!
Below are some ideas, if you need inspiration. :)

12 Fruity Handmade Card Ideas using Stamps and Dies – Card Making

You have until midnight, August 31st to enter your card(s) in the gallery spot I've provided to be entered into the prize drawing.
May be entered up to 3 times, with 3 different cards and 3 different fruits/vegetables.
Must be a new card.
CANNOT be combined with other challenges, except those requiring multiple prompts (30-Prompt, Team, 100 Papers challenges, etc.)

Doh!  I messed up, because I made the gallery spots and chose the wrong end date!  smh. Darn tiny calendar and/or fat fingers.  I fixed it and they are there now.

Well, I went a little overboard with the misting but it does look like zest!

Re: August Card Challenge
Quick question - Would we be able to combine with the Kit with a Twist challenge since there have to be multiple layouts/cards for it?
