Peaceful Moments

Poppies are a very special flower to me. It’s always held a special meaning as the mother, wife, daughter and granddaughter of a Veteran. However, the past summer while attending an International Conference for Job’s Daughters I was able to visit the World War I National Monument and Museum in Kansas City. It was an amazing experience. So when the Peaceful Poppies suite was introduced in the January – June 2020 mini catalog, I knew I just had to have it!

The cardbase is Poppy Parade – makes sense right? I then off center a piece of the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper with a piece of Vellum over it. I felt like the Vellum would soften the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper as I wanted to focus to be the Poppy. Here’s my tip on using the Vellum. I made the Poppy first by cutting out the shapes with the Poppy Moments dies in Flirty Flamingo and Poppy Parade and punched out the sentiment in Blackberry Bliss from Peaceful Moments using the Label Me Pretty Punch. I figured out where I wanted to place these items on my card. I then carefully used a bit of Snail Adhesive on the Vellum where the Poppy and sentiment would cover it up. I used Mossy Meadow to cut to leaves out and placed a few Champagne Rhinestones on the card.
