I made this card in honour of all the veterans around the world. To those who have served, are serving and to their families - a heartfelt thank you.
Here in Canada, the red poppy is our symbol for Remembrance Day. I used the poppy from Stampin Up's "Beautiful Bloomin" set and the sentiment is from a retired Stampin Up set "Antique collections" which I thought was appropriate for my card. Whenever we see anyone wearing their Lapel Poppy - we remember our Veterans - past and present.

Your poppy is utterly perfect - and so is this sentiment. I particularly like the sanded bg, it's so vintage looking, which seems just right for remembering the past. Beutiful stitching too.
