Snowflakes and Poppies

We have a new theme for "Red or Blue plus Gold or Silver" at Everybody Art Challenge this week.  Do come and play along and share some love with the Design Team by leaving comments on their blogs.

It's the perfect opportunity to make Holiday cards but I chose instead to make a card with this coming Remembrance Sunday in mind - Armistice Day in the UK, and Veterans' Day in the USA.  

I used the beautiful "Snowflakes" image from Mo’s Digital Pencil which is available in her shop here.    Instead of using white for snowflakes, I wanted my image to appear in a flurry of Poppy petals.  She is coloured with Polychromos pencils on Kraft cardstock.  I absolutely need more practice with this media but I like how she turned out.  I think the pencils really work with Mo's delightful vintage style image. I used an inked Simon Says Stamp Poppy Stencil for my background and gold mirror card for the layering and the sentiment. 

There is a Facebook page where members can upload their Mo Manning creations and we look forward to seeing you there. It's easy to become a member.  Just click HERE And check out Mo's Dream Team Blog HERE for inspiration from my teamies.   In case you haven't yet heard the great news - Mo now has FOUR levels of Patron to choose from - one of which is absolutely FREE and includes regular free digis.  Paid memberships start at just $2.50 per month (plus tax where applicable) and include even more digi images plus coupons!  Please do go and check it out.  Remember you can access the lowest tier and a freebie for free!  You can find Mo's Patreon Page HERE

I am entering my card into the following challenges:

CD Sunday Plus - #145 Always Anything Digital Goes
Colorful Options - Nov - Red
Inkspirational #328 Layer It

Edited to add my absolute delight that this card was in the top picks from the super team over at CD Sunday Plus.  Thank you, ladies!
