I Love 'Thistles'

It's Saturday and that means
Challenge Day at Just Us Girls 
It's CAS Week and our Host Nancy chose
Colouring.


As it is CAS Week I wanted to use my 
favourite 'wee' stamp I bought years ago when I was
holidaying in Bonnie Scotland. It only needs
minimal colouring - bonus for me.
I got out my 'long forgotten' little pots of colour
activating with a water brush using
LuminArte Mallard Green, 
ColourArte English Lavender
and Colour Blast Apple of My Eye
(have you got them hiding in a drawer too)
for my thistle, leaves and background -
Nuvo Solar Flare for my flower.
Added some lavender flower soft to my thistle head.
Cut it out and framed. Attached to popped
backing that was scored at the bottom.
Wish I had a crimper as it would have been more noticeable.
Couldn't decide on a sentiment so left it blank for now.
Finished by adhering to card base.
Head over and see how our Guest Karen
and the Team created their CAS coloured cards.
Love to see yours in our Gallery.
We bid farewell to our Talented Guest Karen
and Thank You for sharing great inspiration
with us this month. We loved having you.
Thanks for visiting

I love thistles too. This is such a pretty card and I love the CAS design, Ina. Adding flower soft is a great way to add texture and dimension. xx

That soft shading inside the frame is lovely, Ina, and calls your attention to the flowers.

Beautiful design. The scoring on the bottom gives the white some texture.
