Our challenge for you this month at the Male Room is Floral. Tricky don't you think sometimes for male cards. Well hubby was sitting next to me in our craft room and I asked him what sort of floral he would like as a male. Straight away he said thistle and I was delighted when I remembered I have a thistle stamp that hasn't been inked in a while! I love it when a plan comes together!
My thistle stamp is from Studio Light and is simply called Thistle. I used some watercolour paper for this card. I stencilled an old Tim Holtz stencil first which is the German text one in Versafine Portobello ink. I then stamped over this with Versafine Nocturne and added a colour wash of Fossilized Amber and Iced Spruce around the image. I used Tim Holtz Villainous Potion Distress Ink for the thistle heads and Forest Moss for the leaves. The sentiment is from a Tim Holtz Ideaology book.
I'm adding this into the following:

Stunning male card Fiona - I love the thistle stamp and your background is gorgeous xx
Very tricky theme - Now this is a floral card I could send to the men in my family - good on your hubby......the men in my family love nature and growing flowers but sending them a normal floral card wouldn't suit - so the thistle is perfect
Brilliant teamwork in your house, Fiona!! The thistle is a great suggestion! And it does make a unique masculine birthday card! Thanks for sharing at HQCOLCB for the theme of B for birthday! -- Becca
Fiona... gorgeous floral! I am so glad you are sharing it with Just Us Girls for our 800th challenge. Thank you!
Your thistle card is wonderfully artsy and eye-catching. Thank you for joining the 800th challenge at Just Us Girls.
