Anyway you know what I mean - so consequently I had about 10 zillion attempts to take a photo of this card which looked anything like the actual thing - grey, full of shadows, horrible flower colours... even messing abpout with photo editing didn't make much difference - then just before I went out a patch of blue sky appeared through the roof window and I managed to get a couple of pics before the hailstones came again!
As Remembrance Day is almost upon us here in the UK it seemed fitting to make a card with Poppies.
I wanted something reasonably CaS but didn't want to make what you might call a 'typical remembrance card' with 'Sympathy' or a 'thinking of you' type sentiment, but wanted one that could be used to commemorate the fact that we are here when others are not.
The sentiment I stamped onto this small tag reminds me that I have a lot to be thankful for and happy about - even when I am feeling the same as the weather - Pants!
Just basic linen card and a die cut from a scrap of card - die coloured with Distress Inks and mounted with 3d pads.
A few tiny sparkly gems and some shoestring ribbon - job done !
And a card which I hope can be sent 'Just Because' you feel like it!

Your poppies are amazing! They are perfect for remembrance day. When I was a girl they used to sell paper poppies on the street (or other places) and we'd put them in our lapel to remember fallen soldiers. Thanks for sharing your card with us at Twist of Faith.
