Another thistle...




 Hi folks,

Just back from a wee holiday up north, we had a fab relaxed time and actually managed to see dolphins in the Moray Firth.  Been catching up with the housework but needed to get a card made too.

As you know I love this stamp set from Stampin Up, and I was on a roll after my last make ( I had a wee production line going).  This time I stamped the image twice in black archival ink and then added some soft watercolouring to the images an around.  I added a wee bit extra detail to the thistles.  I added some splashes and sequins to finish.

challenges:
We Love Stamping - anything goes (option of in the garden)
Allsorts - anything goes (option to embellish)
Happy Little Stampers - watercolour challenge

Wow this is stunning - I love that soft background behind those beautiful thistles. How wonderful to see the dolphins - we sometimes get them here in Wales but I've yet to see them. Thanks for sharing with us at Happy Little Stampers Watercolour.
