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
Glitter and Sparkle - purple and black

Beautiful card, Jane, what a great stamp! Good idea to use the 'Halloween' colours for your floral card. xx
I agree with your reasoning and the decisions involved in making this beautiful matted thistle card, Jane! Love the all-purpose nature of it! Great huffing!! Hugs, Darnell

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.
