Admitting that whatever the inspiration challenge was today, I was going to be using this new die set that I got in the mail yesterday! I am in love with it!
Looking through the IC site, I fell in love with several things and may have to buy some of them. Here are a few of my favorites:
I painted the bucket wth watercolors, added a bit of metalic ink in a few spots, an finished off with a touch of distress inks. The flowers and leaves were colored with distress oxides. I didn't spend much time shaping the flowers, I still like how they came out.
Thanks for introducing us to a very cool site/pinterest board, Kia.

Oh, Nancy, this is gorgeous. I would have thought you spent a lot of time on those flowers. They are beauties. I love the bucket and how you watercolored and used metallic on it, also. You made it look old. I can definitely see why you wanted to use this today. Love it....Hugz

That bucket is AMAZING! Your water coloring and inking are perfection and I love the tarnished metal handle. Your dimensional flowers look beautiful against your lovely background. A true work of art, Nancy.

SO cool - but imagine this "blind person's" surprise to find a bucket of geraniums instead of the basket of apples it looked like to me from the thumbnail . . . . marvelous die cuts and beautiful autumn colors.
BTW - your wish list bigger charcuterie board made me laugh out loud!!
