Challenge #6: Photo inspiration

Hi, Amber here today with challenge #6.

I decided to do something a little different and give you a photo inspiration!

I found this great photo from MarthaStewart.com on Pinterest and fell in love with it:

You can take whatever you want from this photograph - colors, patterns, grid, squares, materials (glass, metal, fabric) and use that as your inspiration for your creation this week. I'm so excited to see what you make!

First, let's take a look at our Design Team's interpretations:
