Remembrance

Good Morning! Remembrance Day also called Poppy day is the 11th of November - The significance of the day is, I hope, known to all. It was when World War 1 ended - The 11th hour of the 11th Day of the 11th Month.

In the UK with is remembered by the wearing of a poppy. My card is using the Stained Glass Poppy from The Little Paper Tree:

I colored the Poppy with Copic markers and cut the circle out.

I matted an A7 card base with red card. I then printed the Flanders Field poem onto grey card stock. If you've not heard the poem it tells the reason for using the poppy as a symbol of remembrance.

I added this to my card base and adhered my Poppy with foam tape.

Using my Cameo I then cut the letters for remember and added these to the card. This didn't appear to stand out as much as I wanted so I covered the letters with crystal glaze.

I hope my card has made you stop and think about the significance of the date. To all the veterans including my own Kev. Thank you for your service!
