Garden Girl Poppy

 Morning - Thought I'd take the time to show you this card I made with one of my new Stamping Bella stamps called Tiny Townie Garden Girl Poppy.

I printed the image out and die cut it using a My Favourite things wonky stitched frame. I then die cut using a scalloped stitched edge on Doodlebug Kraft in colour blue striped paper and glued it to the base pad. I die cut some green leaves using a Marianne Design die and glued this to a Poppy paper flower that I think was from The Ribbon Girl. Finally I add the "Love Ya" which was die cut from red card using Lawn Fawn Big scripty word die. 

I used these Promarkers and flexmarkers to colour the image -
Skin - Usual
Poppy flowers and skirt - Red, Poppy, Ruby & Burgundy
Stripes and bow - Indigo Blue
Leaves - Emerald, Lush green & Pine Green
Hair and centre of poppy - Ice grey 2, 3 & 5 

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges -

I love colouring these images - they are so crisp and make such lovely cards!!
See you back again tomorrow for a new I Love Promarkers challenge.

Remembrance Sunday with Corporal Clegg.

Good Morning - Today is Remembrance Sunday so I have made today's card using Corporal Clegg.
from Dr Digi.

I am really interested in my family history and have done a huge family tree. I found one relative who was in a prisoner of war camp and died two days before liberation - So sad! I managed to find where his war grave is in Belgium and was able to have his story remembered by the Royal British legion campaign to commemorate every fallen solider. It really is an amazing and interesting site and really quite easy to find any relatives they may have been involved in the Wars. I hope every generation continues to remember and be thankful for the sacrifices made by these Soldiers.

I really wanted to use the poppy paper but mixed it with the wood effect to create some harsh contrast to the pretty flowers - I guess that's part of the symbolism of the Poppy in War.
The poppy paper is from Prima "The Optimist" range and the wood is from My Minds Eye - Necessities collection - Wood.
I thought the zig zag card fold worked well as it allowed the different papers to be seen. I added a small paper poppy flower that I  bought from The Ribbon Girl. Finally added "lest we forget" using little letter stickers from Webster Pages. I also added Glaze to the buttons, Cane and Gloves.

I used these promarkers / Flexmarkers to colour Corporal Clegg -
Shoes / Belt / Moustache - Black & Cool greys.
Uniform - Pastel beige, Pesto, Olive, Herb Green, Earth Yellow.
Shirt and tie - Khaki.
Hat - Burgandy, Cardinal red, Ruby & Poppy.
Skin- Usual combo of Antique White, Spice, Coral, Soft Peach & Blush.
Gloves - Nutmeg, Cocoa & Saddle Brown.
Gold buttons etc - Gold, Canary & Buttercup.
