I printed this digi of the thistle ages ago. It's been too long since I looked at a real thistle, too because I painted the pod in the mix of Sweet Sugarplum colors, then realized it should have been green. So I went over it with the tranquil tide. It actually looks more green IRL but I do think it gave it some good shading with the plum underneath. I used the mixed colors around the flowers for a little more of the lighter color since most of the rest was the razzleberry.

Oh, Pat, this is gorgeous, and I love thistle! My dad was born in Scotland, so it's sort of "in my blood." I love how you've colored your pods and how beautifully these look! So glad you were able to join us for this week's Color Challenge! Hugs, sweet friend! xoxo
