Throwback Thursday Challenge - Poppy Meadow: Monday 10th November 2014

Hello Friends,

I am continuing with the theme of Remembrance today and would like to enter this re-visited card  in the Stamping with Bibiana Throwback Thursday challenge #4. 

I have been wanting to enter this challenge, where we share a previously blogged creation..but well, you know how busy I have been of late. I see the challenge will be taking a break until January, but it is one I will definitely be coming back to in the New Year!

The theme this month is 'Anything Goes' and I thought that as it is November, which here in the UK is a special time for celebrating our veterans and especially this year, I would share this card that I posted a year ago. 


It uses the same poppy stamps (Poppy Meadow) by Indigo Blu, that I used for yesterday's post. I created the background on linen paper, using distress inks, which I then spritzed with water to create an uneven watercolour effect. The poppy stamps were stamped in black archival and heat embossed with clear powder before colouring with distress inks.

The sentiment is from the same stamp set. I finished with black and deep red ribbon.

I would like to enter this card in



Many thanks for stopping by today,
Love and Hugs,
Carole Z X

  6. Hi Carole thanks for the visit. Seeing your poppy reminded me that I have this lovely stamp and must get round to using it.
    The card is gorgeous. Bibiana asked about why Poppies.
    Poppies were the flower that bloomed across some of the worst battlefields of Flanders in World War I, the brilliant red colour became a symbol for the blood spilled in the war and the rest is history as they say. Hope that explains. Happy crafting, Angela x
