Remembrance

I love poppies! They have a special significance for me as they remind me of the Norfolk countryside where I grew up and wild poppies grew in the hedgerows and at field margins. They are having a DT call at CAS Colours & Sketches and as soon as I saw the colour scheme I knew what card I wanted to make. It also fits very neatly into the theme on the Allsorts challenge blog this week... let it be my tribute to the 100th anniversary of the start of the Great War.

The poppy image from The Stamp Barn has been stamped straight onto an ivory card blank in Versamark and embossed with metallic gold EP. I have simply coloured in the poppies with the very appropriate Poppy Red Promarker and have tried to get some shading by going over the innermost areas of the flowers several times.

I'm sorry that the photo isn't the best quality. It's a real pain this time of the year not being at home in the daylight and having to photograph all my cards in unnatural light! Anyway I would like to enter it into the following challenges:
