It's for 'Remembrance Day'

Each year I make a Poppy Card for

Remembrance Day in Australia.

The reason for this is - 

Armistice Day is on 11 November and is also known as Remembrance Day.

 It marks the day World War One ended, 

at 11am on the 11th day of the 11th month, back in 1918.

 A two-minute silence is held at 11am to remember the people who have died in wars.

This was timely as the current challenge - 

Thank You/Thanksgiving was chosen by Tammy

 over at  Cardz 4 Galz. 

I started with cutting my card stock with a stitched die then
adding texture paste to my MB Texture Distressed Grid
 and while that was drying
I cut out my MB Poppy twice - once for the green stem
then for the flower in a red shimmery paper.
I offset the bottom poppy slightly to show the
green background. I then cut a white leaf from Kaisercraft.
I lightly sponged Tim's Festive Berries over the dry texture paste
and added my poppy. A teeny weeny bow from Waffle Flower
was added to finish.
I then added a stitched die frame from kraft paper
and attached to my white card base.
The Thank You is a die cut from a friend and was inked with
Tim's Antique Linen to match.

Thanks for dropping in today.
