This weeks Gothic Arch theme was black and orange to fit in with Halloween, although you didn't have to use a Halloween theme. So I decided to try out my new thistle stamp that I got from the Dome yesterday. Background is a mixture of distressed spiced marmalade and the orange out the primary colours of the colorbox chalk set. All the stamping was done with black soot distressed ink. I used Tim's new rock candy crackle paste over each of the thistles, I only gave them a thin coat though. If you enlarge the picture you can just about see it!!!

This is gorgeous Sam, they're not colours I would automatically reach for, but I keep seeing fabulous orange and black works on people's blogs, and it's really growing on me :)
Gorgeous colouring - love the effect. Yes, I can see the crackle and it looks really good - makes the thistles stand out - looks like a versatile stamp too.
