This is for the Inspiration Challenge 28. I was intrigued by the plate Karen used for our inspiration today. I wish I had the whole set. I wanted to try to recreate the plate itself....as I loved the layout and colors. AFter I stamped the images I used a watercolor brush and painted in color for shading. I used an artist pen to outline and shade the flowers, leaves and to create dots on cherries.

Oh So pretty! I love the lines you added to the leaf, it really makes it look different (in a good way )! The duo-colored speckling reminds me of stoneware texture. Thanks for playing!!
