Inspired by a Children's Book

When my girls were small, we read The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle.  They especially loved putting their tiny fingers through the holes on each page, where the insect had "chewed" through.

While considering a birthday card for my sister, and trying to tie it in to a challenge, I decided to "CASE" Mr. Carle's illustration.

I love the way it looks!  It's so fresh and clean.  I added subtle detail with my Martha Stewart Score Board:

It was fun to color in these berries.  They are just the juiciest, sweetest berries - can't you tell??  ;-)

I am playing in a challenge new to me (but my friend Bonnie plays there all the time) - Less Is More.  This week's challenge is called "Recipe - Take 3 Challenges."

I chose these three previous challenges for my recipe:

9 - Touch of Red / 26 - Feeling Fruity / 28 One Layer - Use Ink

Another challenge that I haven't played in before:  CAS-ual Fridays, owned by my teammates Julie Ranae and Michele Gross.  They've been around for several months now, but because of my family issues, I didn't have time to play there - until now!  The challenge this week is about being inspired by a favorite book.

This was fun!  Hope you enjoyed this as much as I did.
