Hello there...
It's my brother's 45th wedding anniversary today and I am sharing the card I made for them... My SIL loves poppies and red poppies are a symbol of remembrance.
Today I dedicate this to the people of Paris where so many lost their lives in a terrible assault last night... Both my Grandfathers were French and they fought for freedom and peace....
The stamp I used is by Technique Tuesday and I embossed it in gold before water colouring it
I need a lot of practice with colouring ....

over at Colour Me the palette is red and olive
...and the photo is of poppies so I'm entering this card there and at
Just Us Girls where the challenge calls for Watercolouring
And... I think this fits the Muse Card Club challenge
Wishing you a wonderful weekend ... may peace be with you

So stunning Ros!! Colouring is so hard for me, but you really did a wonderful job on your poppies! I just adore the little touches of gold, you may be inspiring me to pull out my sequins again!! Happy Saturday. hugs :)
ReplyDeleteWow, so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteoh wow! Rosemary, this is so gorgeous! Thank you for joining us at Colour me! :)
ReplyDeleteOh how I love poppies, your card is beautiful...love the gold embossing, makes it so elegant! Yes, I feel for the people of Paris...I just don't understand why there are so many crazy and cruel people in the world, why can't we all just live our lives the way we want in a normal world??
ReplyDeleteOh this is a strong/powerful blog post on many levels x Your card is striking and so gorgeous. As always the layout is perfect and loving the angle of the front panel...I never think to do that and it's so effective. The mix of the linen card and the other card works really well.Are you using your new gansai water-colour paints?.....Beautiful colouring and beautiful card x
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely Ros. The gold embossing and edging give it a nice touch of elegance. Congrats to the celebrating couple. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteJust stunning, Ros! I know they love this card--not the every day anniversary card--a treasure! So sad & disgusting what happened in Paris.
ReplyDeleteThis is terrific.
ReplyDeleteSo sad about Paris too, my husband and I was driving out to have lunch yesterday and he was saying that we should start looking for tickets to Paris since we have the ticket to NYC booked in March, I was all excited to go to Paris in March and then we walked into the restaurant, and the TV was broadcasting the bad news, that was so so sad as Paris is one of my beloved city.
What a beautiful card! You are so creative! Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving a comment on my blog. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Love the embossing, that gold shimmer really makes a difference.
ReplyDeleteI think your Poppies and water-coloring are just fantastic, Ros! And that cardstock? Just gorgeous! LOvely card, and lovely thoughts, as well. Thank you for sharing both with Muse this week...
