Remembrance Card (Lavinia Stamps)

Yesterday I visited a local church (St.Eleth's Church in Amlwch, Anglesey), which had a fabulous Remembrance display including a whole drift of crochet poppies running from the tower to the ground.  Inspired by this display, I made this clean and simple card.

I masked off a circle on the middle of a card blank and used Distress Inks to create the background scene.  I used the Lavinia Stamps "Group Poppies" stamped in Memento Ink shades of "Cottage Ivy" and "Love Letters".

The sentiment is a stamp by Stampin' Up and is part of the "Sheltering Tree" set, also stamped in Memento Ink "Cottage Ivy".

Here are some photos of my inspiration from yesterday.

The Fairy Poppy Dance Tag

I've played with fairy stamps again today, making this tag.

I've used the Lavinia Stamps "Group Poppies" coloured with Versafine Clair and then Promarker.  Then fairies and snail are stamped in Versafine "Black Onyx".

I painted the background using a wet brush and water colour pencils adding the star details using a Lavinia pound stamp.
