New Year Grapes

Although I've been too lazy to break out the plastic grape holders the past few years, my family traditionally rings in the New Year by eating 12 grapes during the 12 bells of midnight; apparently, this was started by Spanish farmers to get rid of their surplus grapes. Brilliant! Let me tell you, the development of seedless grapes has helped this tradition greatly!

This was brought to mind as I made this card, inspired by this week's Card Positioning Systems and Curtain Call challenges. I decided to step back from the copic markers for a minute, and colored this lovely TLC digi stamp with watercolor pencils. I do like how the quiet front of the card complements the loud colors of the inside.
