The thistle stamp came from a company called Artylicious which is sadly no longer trading. I stamped it by placing the stamp in my Misti and covering the flowers with torn sticky notes before inking the stamp with green, removing the masks and stamping, then without moving the stamp or paper, repeating the process with purple ink, masking the leaves and stems and inking just the flowers.
To make the thistle really stand out I kept the rest of the card very simple, with a plaid background printed out from the CD "The Best of La Pashe 2014" and a little matting and candi.

A lovely card - you've definitely captured that Scottish feel. I do like that thistle too and the colours you've used - thanks for joining us at Sweet Stampin this week.
The paper is such a perfect background for the thistle. As an honorary Scot I trust you had haggis last Friday!
