Mornin' y'all! Insomnia must be contagious, because last night I was the one who couldn't sleep. Wide awake at 3am and then super sleepy at 6:30 when I had to be up and doing, ugh! But I did drink lots of tea yesterday and that made me a functioning adult for most of the day, so I'm currently on my first cuppa today.
And I have a card to share, here 'tis:
I have been wanting to make a Beautiful Thistle card for probably months now and kept getting the stamp set out for various challenges and then putting it back up. But its day has finally come thanks to the Paper Players sketch:
And the lovely color challenge from Just Add Ink:
YES PLEASE, I love these colors together! This card came together super fast because I used a slightly off-cut stamped image that I had in the Beautiful Thistle stamp case. Easy!
That's it for now, peeps. Not sure if Daphne and I will go for our morning walk...it's super misty outside and I don't much fancy getting wet, and actually neither does Daph. Something about her dainty paws. We'll see if it clears up a bit in the next hour or so. In the meantime, I have tea and a muffin so I'm good, and Daphne just made herself comfortable on the only piece of furniture she's allowed up on so she's good too. Cheers, y'all!

Your Thistle is perfect for these colours! I agree.....when you love the colours and have the perfect image, cards come together easily. A lovely card. Chantell Just Add Ink
Those colours couldn't be more perfect for your thistle, which is absolutely stunning! Love the depth of shade on your background too, so bold. Thanks so much for joining us at Just Add Ink. Kerry, DT
Gorgeous, Christy! I am very fond of this particular stamp set, Scottish family ties after all. So glad you got to play with it. Thanks for joining us this week at JAI. Cheers, Jolanda - Guest DT
What serendipity - those colours and our sketch are just the perfect way for you to showcase that thistle in all its glory Christy - great job! Thanks for playing with us over at The Paper Players this week!
This is the most perfect image for these colors as well as for our sketch! I love thistles...as a symbol of Scotland, not in my garden, LOL! I can't figure out why I never got this set myself! Your coloring and the elements are all spot on! Thanks for playing with our sketch this week at Atlantic Hearts!
Ah a tea drinker. A girl after my own heart. Any Brit in you :-). I hadn't seen this thistle stamp and I absolutely love it. I also love the scripty panel behind and the scallop adds a wonderful touch of softness. That background paper is fabulous. Now... thanks for making me want to go back to Scotland! So glad you shared this beauty with us at the Paper Players this week
