Just a thistle

There are several colour challenges around at the moment that are obviously trying to lead us into making Halloween cards, but I don't really want to make any more this year so I've taken a different angle.


The thistle is an old Artylicious stamp - it is intended for use as a silhouette, but instead I have coloured it with marker pens, huffed to moisten the ink and stamped it that way. I've given it a very simple treatment with black and green matting on  purple card base, and not added a sentiment because I think it would serve equally well as a birthday or general purpose card, a sympathy card or even a Hogmanay card.

I am sharing this with

    My eyes popped when I saw this beautiful card Jane. Oh how I LOVE a thistle. You have done it proud with your colouring. Hogmanay! I remember it so well from the days of my youth celebrating it with my parents and first footing.
