Love Me a THISTLE!

It's time for our New Anything Goes Mixed Media Challenge at 

Creative Artiste Mixed Media

This piece came about after I was watching

the Talented Tracy Evans use her

AALL&Create Thistle #334.

I had only just recently purchased mine

so decided to ink it up.

The background is done on the gel press

and after a long hiatus I needed lots of practice.

I eventually got three then inked my thistle.

I landed up using the middle one.

I found after watching Tracy that the best stamp pad

to use is VersaFine Clair. Lucky I have a few.

I then did some random inking, some

crackle stencilling (as I do) and strips of washi tape - 

 also from AALL& Create.

I am so glad we have a store here in Oz that sells

these amazing products. 

Inked a ring around the thistle, added some

heather flower soft to part of it and

found the lovely wool to add a nice touch.

Lightly inked the edges and a bit of distressing.

I found the lovely soft green pearlized card stock 

that blended nicely and attached to finish. 

Head over to our Blog and check out what my

Fabulous Talented Team Mates created this month.

We would love to see yours in our Gallery. 

You just need multiple mediums to join in the fun.
