REMEMBER

I have made this card in honour of Remembrance Day. My father stills goes out selling Poppies - Bless him. Not so sure about this year though as he has only just moved into sheltered accomodation as he is getting a bit fragile now :-)
Anyway, I have made this card using a photo from the 'Web' and the image is by Ellephantastic and is a freebie for Round 6 of the CDAC Progressive Challenge, where I shall be entering this. The poppies are from my Hannah Hay 'Poppies & Daisies' CD. I have decoupaged the Bear and the poppies for added depth :-)






Challenges I am entering :
Simon Says Stamp - Photo Inspiration Poppy Field
Cute Card Thursday - Reds for Remembrance

    Ike,
    Wow.... Ok now able to speak... type...
    I love your colouring on the bear & plane! Love how you added that particular picture, and was able to make it look like of course it belongs there. Great tribute to your dad. Love how you did your Poppy flowers too! Awesome job Miss Thing!
    Peace,
    KristyLee

    This is a fabulous card and very clever how you made the teddy & plane image fit with the background. Sorry my Mum's poem made you cry - it makes me cry every time I read it too! Thanks for leaving such a lovely comment on my blog. x
