I was Inspired by a Song for Challenge #75 over at The Squirrel & the Fox

I found a great challenge that suited me down to the ground.

It is over at The Squirrel & the Fox

and their challenge is to make a card
inspired by a song or movie

Details are HERE

For this challenge I decided the
beautiful Thistle Image
needed to stand out hence it is cas card.

 

 

With the Commonwealth Games being held over in
 Glasgow Scotland my first thoughts went back to
 seeing Team Scotland march to their

National Anthem - THE FLOWER OF SCOTLAND.

 

Being born in Scotland I love Thistles even though it is a weed
and of course those Scottie Dogs.
How awesome it was to see them take centre stage
as the athletes marched in to the arena.

I have used basic card stock colours for the base and matting
Tartan paper is from a friend who just happens to live in Glasgow.
I cannot remember where this thistle image is from
so cannot give credit to (sorry)
Used a MS punch, own ribbon
and the Scottie Dog was given to me by my sister.
Sentiment is from Just believe by SU.

I really enjoyed making this card because of the
 beautiful thistle image
and just listening to the bagpipes ringing out the
music of  'The Flower of Scotland'

Thanks to the team at The Squirrel & the Fox
for this challenge and giving me the reason
to make this card and remind me of my Homeland.
