Today I am going to share a card I made for Poppy Day.
I decided to just make it flat instead of adding to a card you can open up. Message can be wrote on the back if desired. I then added it into a cellophane card bag to help protect from all weathers if it was going to be put onto a grave or where ashes had been scattered.
Poppy is made from red card and one of the many poppy dies that I have.
Soldier and plinth I bought at one of the Ally Pally shows I attended.
Sentiment I printed from internet.
I used distress ink around sentiment and gilding wax on the soldier.
Poppy leaves were coloured in with promarkers.
I have contacted the Royal British Legion via email asking if I am able to make a good batch of these to sell in a way of helping raise money for our soldiers.
Thanks for stopping by my blog today.
I look forward to reading your comments and will pop on over and visit your blog too.
I will be entering this card into the following challenges:-

This is just beautiful, Sally, perfect for this time of year. xx
Hi Sally,
yes, this is very beautiful. When we were in Scotland, we saw in several churches poppies from differnet materials. It's a very good tradition, I think.
What a striking card Sally, and how thoughtfully finished with the cellophane bag.
Blessings

This is gorgeous Sally if that's the appropriate word to use for this sort of card. I am sure they will agree for you to make more of these beauties.
