Challenge 177 - Poppies

This week on November 11th we remember those brave men and women who died for us whilst fighting in various wars so my challenge is to show Poppies on your creations. For this easel card base I took some Coredinations craft card and sanded the top roughly just enough to show the craft colour below.  I stamped the poppy stamps from an Inkylicious set and coloured using Promarkers and Copics and coloured the background with Distress Inks.  I sprayed over the top with Crafter's Companion glitter spray.  I added the sentiments from Hunkydory - the smaller one reads 'Don't count the Years - Count the Memories' and stamped some more poppies onto the craft card using black Stazon.
I hope you will Remember the brave ones and maybe create something in their honour.
Thank you..... we will remember.

White Space

My challenge this week is sponsored by Card Mad Fairy and the topic is 'White Space'. Now as everyone who knows me knows I don't do white so this was not easy for me at all (ok why did I choose it then you ask??? )
However the task was made easier by using my new toy..... the Woodware Crafty Edger..... I acquired this at the Trade Show last week and have fallen in love with it.... you can do borders and also go round corners as you can see above.  My thanks go to Judith and Dorothy of Woodware for giving this to me to play with.
There are lots of different designs and they are bringing out more corners as we speak.

So I cut the white mat then added the three images given to the DT by Card Mad Fairy, coloured with Copics. I simply added the with love sentiment and the job was done.
Do pop over to my challenge blog and enter the challenge... lovely digi images are up for grabs.
