| Lest we Forget |
Nov 11 is Remembrance Day in Canada in honour of our military vets and current soldiers. I have always worn a
poppy, as has my hubby but I was saddened today when I was out & realized that the majority of people don't wear them so I came home inspired to make a card in honour of all our soldiers.
Em introduced
Green Bean Baby by Ellia military men & women for both Canada and the States soldiers and I think that's pretty amazing! I chose GI Jane (what can I say I wanted to colour her hair)
Canadian GI Jane is stamped with mementos ink onto
bella's bestest paper and coloured with copics. For the ribbons in her hair I used an
atyou spica pen to give her some girlie touches and for the buttons I used
silver viva decor (a little something I picked up when I was at Stamping Bella on Saturday) The ds paper is from basic greys archaic line; one of my favs
I'll be back on Friday with my
Bellariffic Friday's card - holiday or Christmas; you have until Thursday afternoon to email Em your card to be included.
Thanks for stopping by, I hope you take a moment to remember our Veterans & those men in women currently serving in the military.
Dana
copics: E0000, E000, E00, E21, R02, 41, E42, E43, E44, E47, E49, YG91, YG93, YG95, R24, R27, W5, W7

did you use pencils here????? this would be a GREAT image to put those to use on with that big ole' helmet! great card!
Great card Dana, love this stamp image and beautifully colored.
Awww, she is perfect! My fav shade of green too!
I agree with you that fewer and fewer people are wearing poppies - it's very sad! I was wearing my poppy and was very happy that WestJet paused for a minute of silence as we were boarding for our 11:15 flight. I even had a airforce vet sitting beside me in the lounge. Your card is perfect for today - thanks!
