Poppies Day #11.  They say save the best until last, and although I have some favourites along the way during my 11 days of poppy cards, I wanted to save this for today - Armistice Day. To be honest  I was a bit torn - Remembrance Sunday or today, but I chose today.

Poppies - Day #10

Poppies - Day #10!  For this card I wanted to use some guilding flakes, along with one of my favourite poppy stamp sets, which is from IndigoBlu.  I think I need a bit more practise stamping with the flitter glue to make sure I get a crisp image, and if I was feeling a bit braver I might even add some colour to the poppy - maybe I will do that and add an update!

The background was made using some glimmer sprays - I made a bit of a stash of them a while ago, so I am not sure if this is using a Creative Expressions or Tattered Angels spray - will have to see if I can figure it out!

You can't see the beautiful variation in colours in the guilding flakes in the photo above, but I think you can see it here.

Poppies - Day #4

Hi!  Here is day 4 of my 11 days of poppy cards!  After colouring the poppy in, I went to assemble the card, and all of a sudden had one of those "this looks very familiar" moments, and thought I'm sure I didn't do this as my Remembrance Sunday card last year! And no I didn't, but I did use the image and sentiment for my 2012 card!  At least I put the sentiment in a slightly different position!  So to make it a little more different, I used different coloured card for the layers - dusky red and cream rather than black and red.
