I loved Betty's Simply Thankful card, which is a pumpkin full of fall goodies. I changed to a coal bucket and filled it with fall items, cut from smooshed watercolor BG's I'd made. I cut the P. willows from rustic white and dark chocolate and the cattails from kraft and some white velvet cardstock, that I shaded with brown oxide ink. They are so cool when you touch them! The bucket was colored with distress oxide inks in a combination of wild honey, faded jeans, crackling campfire and some wilted violet. It was placed on the stormy sea BG that was embossed with a woodgrain impression plate. I splatted the arrangement with vintage photo ink before placing it on the card. Here's Betty's card.

What a wonderful fall bouquet. It would look amazing beside the fireplace. I love the way you coloured the coal bucket. Reminds me of the colours metal sometimes gets when it's been heated.

Change one letter and your "coal" bucket is a "cool" bucket and I do think it is very cool. I love the patina you created with the various DOX colors. Perfect to show off those beautiful Fall stems. Fabulous card, Sue.
Sue, this is a great case of Betty's inspiration card. I love the muted fall colors for the stems, etc. of your bouquet. The stormy sea background sets off the arrangement beautifully.
