Full Bloom Christmas

Remembrance Day is definitely a day for gratitude and thanksgiving, so I played around with some poppies.
First, a napkin, using non traditional colours…
Followed by another napkin…I found a few in my stash…
I stamped the ‘Cry, laugh, remember perfectly straight, then stamped my ‘Forever Grateful’ ridiculously crookedly, so I tried to even them both up by trimming… it really didn’t work. Suffice it to say this will never be mounted onto a card 
I decided to use an embossing folder to depict the ripples from the sacrifice of so many… have to admit, I don’t like it very much and should, maybe, have used white again
Then I remembered my poppy die… so I indulged my current passion for grey…
And finally… I used one of my favourite non traditional poppy stamps. I love this Stampington image but rarely use it. The netting on the edges is also Stampington.
I’ll link this to the current challenge over at

These are all absolutely beautiful projects -I love the ripple effect embossing folder and who would even know the sentiments were meant to be straight?

I'm simply amazed at all the different ways you were able to create poppies today. They are all stunning. I couldn't see anything wrong with the one you thought was off. I think it is as lovely as all the rest. As always, I am truly impressed with your art.
Such a stunning collection! I love all the cards but my favorite is the flowers against a white background with the subtle stamping of sentiments. It is beautifully elegant. Thank you so much for joining us on Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge. xx Ankita
