This is my card for Lisa's MMTPT challenge today - you can find it HERE.
I was happy to read her challenge, as this Thistle Garden stamp from IO is one I have been waiting for a chance to use again. And as the card is going to a friend of Jan's, I thought it would be nice to use one of Jan's own stamps on it too, so the sentiment is from her Apples set.
Image stamped on white card and coloured with Polychromos pencils, with a little SN clear glitter pen on the thistles. I added the sentiment, and then it still seemed to be missing something so I added the die-cut sun. It's matted onto black, and then put on a white base.

The thistle garden is a very lovely stamp. Your light touch with the coloring is just right.

Your thistle garden stamp is so lovely and I like how you have colored it. I also like that you used one of Jan's stamps on your card and then the embossed sun? Perfect finishing touch.
