Getting Ready for Remembrance Day

 I wanted to make a card for Remembrance Day and I couldn't figure out a design.  We have design challenges for our WestCoast Creator Team every two weeks and this month it was a sketch challenge. 

I thought this would work for my poppy card I wanted to make.   I had seen some nice ones on Pinterest but wanted to design one myself.   I used my Peaceful Moments Bundle to create the poppies and the sentiment from that was absolutely perfect.   I wanted to use Poppy Parade and Smoky Slate went well so pulled a piece of DSP from my Peony Suite and that made an lovely background. 


I did sponge the flowers with Poppy Parade Ink as that makes the flowers look more textured and real.  I really miss the Remembrance Assemblies we had every year at school now that I am retired but making this card will ehlp me as I am grateful at this time for our freedom.
