ANZAC Day - Poppy card.

Welcome to my Die Cut Divas post for today - here in NZ and Australia (25th April) is ANZAC Day - where we acknowledge and commemorate all those who served in the army forces.  The ANZAC's were the Australia and New Zealand Army Corp who fought during the First World War and on the 25 April 1915 the ANZAC's landed in Gallipoli in Turkey.  The landing point later became know as Anzac Cove.  

Here in NZ and Australia we wear poppies to commemorate by wearing a poppy.  So today I am sharing a poppy card as part of this month's challenge. 



Established in April 2014, Altenew has quickly become a leader in the inspiration industry and continues to innovate and influence the world of paper crafts. Altenew strives to encourage crafters to express their own unique creativity through the art of paper crafting.

The Challenge for this month is: Water Coloring!
You can watercolor anything on your project, just remember to include 
a die cut or use an embossing folder in your design!

The Prize from Altenew


I used Altenew's Paint a Flower - Iceland Poppies.  I coloured with Altenew's Woodless Watercolor Pencils.  A little bit of gold pen to add some details.  I fussy cut the bouquet.  I used Altenew Mix and Match Frames to cut the centre navy panel and the red panel.   I added white splatter (need a bit more practice using Altenew's white spray)  I layered the panels onto a navy base.  Used a sentiment from the set die cut with Featured Sentiment dies. 

Lest we Forget.

A wonderful bouquet Dawn, and so appropriate for today.
I am currently confined to barracks as I tested positive to covid yesterday - so not impressed. Guess I can get well ahead with my cards as I am actually feeling quite well...
