CAS477 = Anzac Remembrance - red poppies for New Zealand and Australia's Remembrance Day
I stamped and heat embossed the poppies on the front of the acetate. Then working from the back, I used a clear-drying glue and glitter to colour the poppies. I wanted some colour variation so I used red glitter on two of the larger poppies and burgundy glitter on the third large poppy. Then I mixed red and gold glitter for the smaller ones, and for the two bottom ones, I used the leftover bits of all the colours.
When you first turn it over, it just looks like white blobs of glue from the front - it needs a few hours for the glue to completely dry and turn clear, and then you can see your lovely colours of glitter.
I die cut a rectangular window in my top layer of cs, taped the acetate panel (heat embossed side up, glitter to the back) behind it, and added a die cut frame. Then I backed this panel with foam tape so that the poppies appear to be floating above the card base.

Oh! Your fabulous poppies look like the jewelled brooch I have. This is fabulous and it makes me a little tearful. Well done with creating your glittered poppies. Simply wonderful.
