Our FQCB design team has some "Cooking in the Kitchen with Dinah" perfect inspiration ideas:

DT member NanaConnie=

[FQCB #30 elements: metalware bucket, coffeepot, mug, and creamer pot; also cherries, & fabric napkin]

NanaConnie wrote that this started as a clipart image! With watercolor paints, alcohol markers, and gel pen highlights, she transferred this into a realistic still life!! Woo-eee!!! Thank you.

DT member Dottie=

 [FQCB #30 elements: over mitt, cutting boards, towels, measuring spoon, rolling pin, sideboard for kitchen tools and accessories. ]

Don't you just love the bluish gray tones of the buffalo plaid?!!! The blue and white checked ribbon is another farmhouse textile classic, too! Dottie's created a very nice kitchen scene! Thank you. 

and

DT/owner Becca=

[FQCB #30 elements: sugar and flour containers, mixing bowl, scale, chickens and doily in the die-cut banner]

When going through some farmhouse kitchen die-cuts and card kits, I thought the background pieces could look like wallpaper or could be table linens. Then the containers, scale, and mixing bowl will probably be on the counter or pantry. The colors tones give a rustic country look.

Now, readers it's your turn to do your stash and digital quests to rustle up some grub (kitchen themed project)!!
