hello everyone!! today I am here to share with you a simple little project I created for the Emerald Creek Dares challenge!
Remembrance Day is a day to honour and remember all those who were affected, injured, or gave their lives in service to their country.
there is nothing more symbolic then the poppy & Flanders Field so for my project for this Emerald Creek challenge i wanted to do a simple, meaningful project.
i started with a sheet of this cardstock which i stamped a script using watermark and once dry i inked the sheet with distress inks.
i then cut it to size to fit inside one of the letter tray boxes which i attached to the back of the frame using tissue tape
i then created a poppy using this flower die byEileen Hulls for Sizzix
i then applied a lot of distress sprays to the flower. once it was dry i embossed it using this doily texture fade and then shaped it into a poppy!
love how it turned out.
i then took one of the Emerald Creek Anchor Charms, which i had ordered in error but figured i would use some day, and turned it into a mini cross of sorts!!!
so here is my final project…. simple and meaningful… a reminder to always remember what has been sacrificed for our freedom
don’t forget to play along for your chance to win some goodies from Emerald Creek. 
lest we forget…x

This is wonderful Diana – I love that poppy 🙂
What a gorgeous display & frame to showcase In Flanders Fields.
I love how you created your poppy! The embossing folder gave it just the right amount of texture.
