Remembrance Poppy

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

Today I'm playing cards with my dear friend, Michele (I Card Everyone).

This is our challenge....

·         Memorial Day  - in memory of someone

·         Poppies – any brand

·         Must include a die cut – may be a word, the poppy, or even a frame

·         Friendship card

I am remembering my childhood friend who passed away from cancer many years ago.

She is still close in my heart.  We shared so many happy times together.

My poppy is from Hero Arts and it was inked with Tombow markers.  I used a waterbrush 

to move the color around adding swipes on a palette to pick up and add where 

I needed more color.  My Caron d'ache pencils work well to add extra depth and 

definition to the flowers.

  I have the die too, but chose to use a

die cut thin frame instead.

I am so thankful for friends I've lost and friends that share my life now.

That includes Michele and all of you dear friends.

I can't wait to how Michele has answered this challenge.

Let's go look, shall we?
