WT803 - Thistle Forever

Photo Details

Poster: ravengirl

I made this card for Carla's Ways To Use It challenge. It was fun to get a few sets out and make them work together.

It took a bit of measurement to create a reverse mask to shadow in behind my thistle. It was very enjoyable though.

Thanks for looking!

The script background with randomly stamped stamps is the perfect background for your beautiful thistle stamp, Toni. Love how the black forms a shadow around the thistle and makes the colors pop!

There is just something about a thistle. I don't like them in the garden but I just love the images one sees of them, particularly as a Scottish image. That shadow makes a huge difference, up another notch. A beauty.

This is really pretty. I love the thistle and the stamp outlines on the Fr. scrips.

Cool stamp design, Toni. Andi like the stamp outline on the background, that's very effective. Your thistle looks beautifully soft, unlike real ones!
