Hello and welcome to the Stamping Dreams Blog Hop where our theme is ‘In Memoriam’. My son is in the British Army and Remembrance Sunday is very important to us a family and I have chosen to make a field of poppies themed sympathy card.
Colours used in this project are:
To recreate the field of poppies card, you will need:
Petal Pink card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Poppy Parade card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” x 2
Poppy Parade card – 2¼” by 2¼”
Basic White card – 2¼” by 2¼”
Using Memento Tuxedo Black ink, I stamped the group of poppies, twice across one of the Basic White panels.

I used a Post It note to mask off the ½” strip where the poppy stems were stamped. I used a Blending Brush to apply Granny Apple Green ink between to strips of Post Of Note. The sticky strips were then moved up and Petal Pink ink was brushed on over the poppy flowers. Finally, I masked off a ½” strip above the flowers and coloured this in with Pool Party and a Blending Brush.

I wrapped a length of Black Baker’s Twine around the stamped panel securing it on the back with Sellotape. The panel was then glued to the Poppy Parade layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I used the same liquid glue to add the panel to the Petal Pink card base.

The sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the square or Basic White card. This was die cut using the Beautiful Shapes Dies. A slightly larger circle was cut from the square of Poppy Parade card using one of the Layering Circle Dies. The sentiment was mounted onto the card front on Dimensionals.

A Baker’s Twine bow was added with a Mini Glue Dot and a trio of Classc Matte Dots completed the card.
