Poppy Gratitude – A Tribute

Coming up very quickly is Remembrance Day and this is my very clean and simple acknowledgment.

My choices were influenced by the inspiration listing provided by Festive Friday (#146).

I opted to use today’s Facebook Case-ing Tuesday (#433) sketch and share with Colorful Options (November) and Simply Clean & Simple (#5).

Here is the result:

Steps:

• Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Basic White cardstock.
• Accent Mat: (3⅞” x 5⅛”) Basic Black cardstock.
• Focal Panel: (3¾” x 5”) Basic White cardstock.
  • A Mask was created with the (2½”) Circle die from the Deckled Circles Dies set using Masking Paper.
  • Poppy Parade ink was added to the Circle opening with a Blending Brush.
  • The Floral Silhouette image from the retired Fast & Fabulous stamp set was added with Versamark ink and heat-set with Black Embossing Powder.  (This stamp set is a particular favorite of mine).
  • The sentiment, Thank you, from the Grassy Grove stamp set was also stamped with Versamark and heat-set with Black Embossing Powder. (The delicate font matched the fine-lined silhouette image very nicely).

The panels were adhered to the card base.  The simple stamping reflects the essence of the sketch.

I stand in awe of all that was accomplished and lost by our Service Men.

Thanks for spending some of your time with me today.   Cheers,  Jolanda!
