Veterans Day November 11

Hi , its Ava here today to share a very significant date with all of you.  November 11 was chosen as the official date for Veterans Day in reference to the ending of World War I.  Families with members who have served in the military appreciate a day of remembrance that can be share with all of us.  We must always remember and demonstrate to the young the gratitude we have for those that have served in the military.

 To-day, I am sharing a couple of cards, which truly showcase the vibrate red of the poppy in remembrance of

Veterans Day. 

Leading to my completed cards, I have gathered my supplies of Helmar Decoupage & Craft Paste and Clearsnap Ink along with my stamps.

 

 

The Helmar Zap Dots foam worked well with this project.

 Applying the Helmar Decoupage paste gave the first layer of my flower a great attachment to my card which had already had a layer of modelling paste and gesso. 

 

Helmar Decoupage paste was also a great paste to adhere the seed beeds to the center of the flowers.

 

I love the red jewel tone of the mulberry paper.

 

 

This side view of the card, shows how well the Helmar Decoupage paste dries clear and crisp to match the additional petals of the poppy.  The black colored Helmar Zapdots blend well with this project.

 

The second card showcases the small poppies and both cards have words from ScrapMatts chipboard that have been inked with Clearsnap.

 

Please remember your Veterans on November 11^th.
