Vibrant Italian Pottery

I love the SCS Inspiration Challenge. It's one of my favorite weekly challenges. I don't always get to participate, but I surely love it when I can. This week I had a little heads up, as Stef asked me to make a sample for a site I recommended: Italian Pottery Outlet.
I love the vibrant hues in all of the items found at Italian Pottery Outlet.

I used the Berries and Buds Wreath Set from Rubber Stamp Tapestry for my "plate" and then added MFT's die for the plate's gold edge. The button on the bow is a beautiful grape color that matches the grapes in the stamped panel. Looks a little dark here.

I had another "plate" made with the orange and red leaves in it too, and my DD nixed that one. Said it was too mismatched with too many colors. So I deferred to her fashion sense and made one without the red and the leaves. :)

Thank you for your visit today. I hope you will leave a comment so I can return the visit!

    Gorgeous! Such a lovely color combination! I love all the embossing and the die cut and border punch you chose! And the seam binding bow is the perfect finishing touch! Very pretty! Thanks for playing along at Sassy Studio Designs! :)
