Cornflower Thistle

Inspired by Jean's FB Live demo of 24th June: 'Cornflower Card'. Except that I don't have the Cornflower stamps, so I used one of the pair of thistles instead (CI-204, 'Two Scottish Thistles'), which are in a similar box format. I am also without a doily die, so I used scalloped circles instead. Also, the faux bleaching Jean used didn't work very well for me, so I sponged white pigment ink through the AALL & Create 'Rota Vitae' stencil instead. (I did have the stencil!)
I used Crafty Individuals' 'Uplifting Words' text stamp, CI-258 in the background, some scrunched up black cotton thread, some glass cabochons and silver sequins from stash.
